I tried that and got the same results. I am able to get a packet capture of the traffic just before it hits the radio and can see that the arp replies are making it that far. So I believe they are getting "on-the-air" to get back to my client. I have found that if I have logged on the machine successfully before I get on the desktop. If I have not logged onto the machine before I get "No logon servers found". I installed Wireshark on one of the machines and was able to get on the desktop and run Wireshark while this is happening and I do not see any packets reaching the machine via the wireless NIC. However, if I disconnect and reconnect from the wireless network it starts working immediately.
I am not sure about the ins and outs of what is going on with 802.1x and Enterprise WPA2 but I believe the encryption key comes from a combination of the username and password if you are not using certificates. I am wondering if my issue is that the client or the wireless controller is not re-keying the encryption when the user changes from computer to user. If that was the case the AP would be sending the encryption using one key and client would be deciphering using another key thus the traffic would never hit the stack.
