    Wireless / Wired differences ??

    Hi, when I connect with my Vista Ultimate notebook to my NAS server with the
    wired 10/100Mb ethernet all is fine, when I do this with the wireless
    connection (intel 3945 chipset) I get no acces to the NAS server or other
    local web-based servers

    Everything is handled with the same wireless router with DHCP configured for
    both connections.

    Connecting to the internet is fine.



    Suggestions ??

    Wired connections don't usually have security issues to deal that wireless
    ones do.

    Your wireless connection to the network might require a WEP or WPA key in
    order to allow you in. Without this kind of coded protection, anyone close
    by with a laptop could access your network, and so files. Talk to your IT
    network admistrator about getting the proper code to access the network.

    I'm the administrator :-) I found out it is a problem in the Speedtouch ADSL
    router, incompatible to the RC1332 standard. I contacted the manufacurer and
    they will release a firmware update in the near future.

    Regards
