Hi

I am pulling my hair out here.

I am supporting a school site that has a single windows 2003 server with one network card in it. From there is a router with internet access and a switch connected that runs all over the school. One of the cables has a wireless access point on the end giving access for 2 pc and 1 laptop.

My problem is this

All the pc's that are wired onto the network logon within a minute or so. The three pc that connect wirelessly take 20 minutes to logon.

they all use the same settings fixed ip's dns pointing to the server.

please advise as to whats going wrong.

What kind of wireless is it 802.11 a,b,g or n?
Is it encrypted?
What signal strength do you get?
What IP, Router, DNS addresses do you get?
Any firewall options enabled?

the wifi is 802.11g
it has only 64bit wep encriptions
signal strength is fine
ip cofig returns the satic ip (192.168.0.x)
dns is set to point to the server 192.168.0.1
the router for web access is 192.168.0.111
only using firewall on the router which gives web access
I don't think the web access router is causing any problem as all the machines go through it and its only 3 that are having problems.

When you log onto the domain it hangs for 20 minutes at the point where it says "loading your personal settings"
