Hello,

I need to set up a wireless network that our users can log on to our Win2003
AD domain. Servers are naturally on a wired network.

How can I set this up so that when user connects to WLAN with his laptop he
will logon to our domain and get ip addresses, network shares, printes etc.
from login script? I have 3COM AP's supporting Radius. Is this the way to
go? These AP's doesn't have internal DHCP server so wireless clients would
need to obtain ip's from domain DHCP server in wired network

Thanks!

You may want to use WPA Enterprise plus IAS.

None of that is relevant at all to the nic being wireless. None of those
things care if they are running over copper or over radio waves,...that is
just the transfer "medium" and is completely irrelevant. It is kinda like
asking this about your car,..."When I bought my car all the roads were
concrete,...but now where I moved to, all the roads are all asphalt, so how
do I get may car to run over asphalt? The car doesn't care.

The one thing that you can do that will help things. Stop using the
management utility that came with the wireless nic and use the Wireless Zero
Configuration Tool in Windows to manage it. This runs as a service and so
the nic can be activated as soon as the OS comes up instead of having to
wait until the user is already logged in.
