We have a single laptop, connecting via wireless to a Windows 2003 domain.
The laptop will connect to the wireless without any problem.
It will receive it's DHCP address from the 2003 server.
It will then be totally unable to access the server in any way. Ping requests time out, and NSLOOKUP fails on the DNS.
All other machines run fine.

I can login as local admin and access all save the domain. I cannot even use RDP or VPN to connect to the server.

When attempting to connect via a domain account not on the PC, the domain is returned as unavailable.

When connecting with the domain account on the PC it will log in fine (cahced) receive addresses but be unable to communicate with the network.

Has anyone any ideas on what could be preventing this ?

Thanks in advance!
 
Ended up fixing it by just connecting to cabled interface and logging in. After that all ran fine.

Thanks for help!
