W2K Network Connection Issue

[Joe Martins]

I have a client with W2K Pro laptops that connect to an
NT 4.0 server. When hardwired, no problems exist, but
recently a Cisco 1100 AP was added, with a PIX to
separate the two networks for security reasons. There
was originaly a problem where the laptops could go on the
internet, but could not view the servers by name. We
opened the ports on the PIX for WINS browsing and that
fixed it. Now, the problem is when logging in through
the wireless network, the login scripts don't run. I
can't find anything on this, has anyone ever seen this
problem before and were able to fix it? The scripts will
run fine from the hard wired network.

Joe...

If you're going through the AP vs cabling, then that's not important here
unless you're trying to show the firewall to be the issue.

You already said opening up ports for WINS solved one issue. One would
assume the other issue lies within the open ports on the firewall. Can you
provide which ports are open?
