Re: Wireless network w/ SBS

I picked up a Linksys WAP54P and the results are exactly the same. I'm
going to go over you document (the new one) step by step again and see if I
missed something. So far tonight, working on GPOs, I've only found one
setting that was computer level that may cause me trouble. Most of my
policies are user lever.

Good idea to carefully review your settings v. my docs. Since there was
no change with a totally different WAP, the problem is most likely with
the wireless NIC(s) [hardware, firmware, and/or drivers] and/or a
configuration error somewhere. Perhaps you can return the LinkSys for a
refund?

Over the past 18 months, the vast majority of problems getting the
methodology to work have been traced to an incorrect setup somewhere.
[I'm not immune - I had missed a few things with my own network at the
beginning!] The remainder - a distinct minority - have been caused by
wireless device issues (e.g., firmware or drivers) and, in one case that
I know of, a bug in ISA2004 that may manifest in a minority of SBS
installations.

I presume you are talking about non-wireless policies that may be
causing you problems. Just to be clear ... ALL of the wireless policies
I document are in "Computer Configuration" and NONE of them are in "User
Configuration".
