Eric, do you have your wired and wireless networks on the same subnet? We use a different subnet for wireless and have found that many of these types of devices don't like the way our network is configured. The broadcast from the device to help a wireless device find what to connect to never crosses over to the wireless side or if it does the communications between the mobile device is unreliable.

Obviously we run into the roadblocks of those devices not fitting into our network well, or working with certain OS's, not to mention security implications. We'd like to try and standardize on a technology so we can manage it (ha!). I'm just wondering if anyone has solved this one yet? We've looked briefly at AirParrot but wondering if anyone else has had any luck in this area. Any info/advice is appreciated.
