Re: Wireless connects but only partially

OK now you've got me thinking about this. Can you please give me a better idea of what parts you took from Owen's doc? If you're manually configuring WPA personal rather than using the certificate and IAS, maybe you've got something on the server configured to block the authentication type you're using?

For example, Owen's method requires the certificate, so if you manually configure WPA or WPA2 with a shared key, you're not meeting the authentication requirements you set up in IAS.

So you're using IAS and the certificate? Everything through Owen's docs?

On the client PC, any auto-enrollment, group policy, or userenv errors in your application log?

Do you have IAS logging turned on, and if so, what is it logging in the system log on the SBS? (Logging is controlled in the IAS console, r-click the top item -> Properties. I would enable success and failure logging for now, and turn off success logging once you get this fixed. Success logging is incredibly chatty).

Greetings Terence,

Thank you for your advice, I changed the setting on the Internet Protocal
Version 4 to obtain IP automatically but still have my WAC set at
192.168.16.5 a value excluded from the DHCP scope provided by SBS.

The system is composed of a Dell Poweredge 1900 server with 2 NIC running
SBS standard 2003, four hardwired Vista workstations, one wireless. I’m
accessing the internet thru a Linksys broadband wireless router WRT54G3G-ST
and a Linksys 300 wireless adapter. After a great deal of effort the system
works impeccably with the exception of the wireless.

I followed Dave’s advice and configured again my wireless following Owen
Williams document which was slightly different from Microsoft’s TechNet
instructions. Still, no luck. I know there is a solution.

My servers IPconfig is:

Hello Richard,

Thank you for your update. Also thanks Dave for the good input.

I agree with Dave, we need to set the client get IP address from SBS, but
not set fix IP for the wireless NIC.

Additional, I want to say that:

1. Please let us know your network topology: 1 NIC or 2 on SBS? Your
wireless access point is your broadband router or not?

2. Please post the whole outcome of command "ipconfig /all" from SBS and
the wireless client. We do not know which NIC IP configuration you refer to
in your description.

I appreciate your time and look forward to hearing from you.

Thanks and have a nice day!

Best regards,

Terence Liu (MSFT)
