I have Mac OS X machines
connecting to an SBS server that's running the built-in File Services
for Macintosh.

in the past it was conected by ethernetand works great, now we are
trying to connect by wireless but only the internet conection is
working, when we try to connect to server it say they can reach it
same case to printers

Thanks, Heriberto

Hi Heriberto!

Without knowing more about your network setup, answering your question
may take a few responses from folks.

Have you verified that your Macs and your server are on the same
network? Do they both share IP addresses where the first three numbers
are the same (e.g. 192.168.0.xxx)? Or are the Mac IP addresses very
different from the server's IP address (192.168.0.xxx compared to
24.128.17.xxx)?

If you could post the first two numbers of the IP addresses you have
this would help in troubleshooting and you won't be disclosing anything
personal or risking security.

Also, how is your wireless device configured? Is it a router or a bridge
on your network?

1. No wireless network tab under wireless network connections

I have recently upgraded internet exploer 7 and now my wireless does not 
appear to be working

When I go to network properties for wireless connection there is now no 
wireless network tab just one saying authentication. Does anyone know if 
there is a hotfix for this from Microsoft or if I need to reset something on 
my PC?

The wireless network tab appears in the bottom right hand side with a cross 
next to it but it is not seeing any wireless networks.

When I go to the wireless zero configuration in services this is running ok.

Any ideas??? I would be most grateful!

Many thanks

Tony

5. Desktop Wireless network connection "bounces" when laptops join wireless network

I have a desktop (WinXP) with a 802.11b Belkin wireless card connecting
to a linksys wireless b router in my house.  I have 3 roommates with
laptop and desktop computers that connect to the network fine every
time.  My desktop, connects perfectly with solid, strong signal for as
long as the 2 laptops with integrated wireless nic cards are not on.
Whenever either of these two (fairly new, 3-5 months old) laptops joins
the wireless network, my connection bounces around like a super ball.

My connection status on the desktop goes from high to low to medium
back to low.  I would say most the time it is LOW though.  I can still
surf a few pages but it is so slow, it is just not worth it, but some
packets do get through in both directions.  This is the part I don't
understand.  It almost seems as though these laptops are somehow
"interfering" with my desktops wireless card.

I am a techie and have tried the obvious troubleshooting steps such as
changing IP addresses, updating drivers, using DHCP (I prefer to have a
static IP address, but changing to DHCP doesn't change the problem).

One more thing, there are two other computers that have no problems
ever on the network (1 desktop, and 1 older (5 yrs) notebook with a
PCMCIA Wireless G card).

Any ideas or suggestions on what I can try would be appreciated.  Or
even some search terms I can try and google to find others who might
have had similar issues with the wireless lan.

Thanks,
Aaron
