We have wireless and we had the darndest time getting the remote access
points to work with switches. We plugged them into hubs and they worked
perfectly. Just a thought.

Have any of you folks ever played around with Microsoft File and Print
Sharing via wireless networks?  I can't always get UNC names to register
even through I am using WINS.

I've got a lab with the following configuration:
20 IBM NetVistas with LinkSys WUSB11's (Windows 2000)
2 Apple Airports with 7 channels of separation (Channel 4 and Channel
11)

All computers have File and Printer Sharing enabled.  All the computers
are configured to use the same WINS server which is located on a
different subnet.  There is one computer in the room with resources that
all the other computers need to access.  Not all the computers in the
room can always connect to this one machine via UNC.  This is odd
because the machines are all using WINS, so theoretically they should
know how to find the computer.  What I am not sure of at the moment is
if only computers on the same airport can see each other.

You guys ever play with this stuff or know of any issues??
