Wireless users unable to get to domain controller

Tech Tip: Click here to run a free scan for Windows Errors and optimize PC performance


Here's the deal....

We have wired users that are on a 10.25.27.x network and others on a
10.25.28.x network. The people on the 27.x network are wired and the
28.x people are on a wireless. The wired people are able to map to our
domain controller (\\DomainController) but the wired people are not.
Says the Network Path could not be found. Everything else seems to work
fine for these people. They are able to authenticate to the domain when
they sign in to their PCs. It's worth noting both the wired and
wireless people have static IPs and that the wireless people
communicate through a wireless bridge connected to their PCs which
communicate with the AP by use of a WEP key.

I'm thinking there is a firewall related issue that is not allowing
them to map to the domain controller. Possibly it's blocking a port?
