Outlook 2000 over Wireless

I've got a new user on a laptop, connected to the network via a wireless PCMIA Card, connecting to an Access Point.

Most of it is working fine, he can logon, run scripting, access network resources, use IE etc...

But Outlook doesn't want to connect.

Because the guy isn't in the office much, and we don't currently have OWA setup on the Exchange server, he uses a POP3 email account through our ISP.

If I network the laptop in the usual wired way, it works fine?! But over the Wireless, it just can't see the pop3 server, if I even try and ping it, it responds with Destination Host Unknown.

Hmm, starting to wonder now if its DNS, but if anyone got any ideas, please let me know!
 
OK, nevermind, sorted it!
Setting the Gateway on the wireless connection to the same as the wired connection helped, doh.
