I set up a D-Link Access Point 2.4GHz 802.11g in hopes of using it with about 16-20 laptops. The laptops are all joined to a domain on a Windows 2000 Server. I found that I was only able to log in with about 14 machines before it said domain cannot be found. Now I’m thinking the problem runs deeper than, say, bandwidth, because when I removed a few of the machines from the network and then the domain, the other machines would still not authenticate. This did not happen when connected to the network via cat5, though.
With a Linksys (same specs) what happened was slightly different. It was the last 2 machines to connect that would not authenticate.
Logged on locally. Tested connections. Tested DHCP, DNS, IP. Tested hardware. Everything checked out except for their ability to log onto the domain.
What gives?
I may have left out pertinent information here, so feel free to ask for more.
Thanks a thousand (you’ll get the other 999,000 when you successfully solve my problem),
