Can't Connect to Enterprise Resource Pool using 802.11g wireless

[David Smith]

I have been having some strange problems with using
wireless networking with MS Project. Our configuration is
as follows:

Windows XP Pro Client (SP1 & SP2)
- With SP2, tried with firewall off
MS Project Server 2003 (SQL Server 2000 Standard DB)
MS Project Pro 2003 (with & without SP1)
Cisco 802.11 b/g access point
Proxim 802.11 b/g PC card NIC
3COM 802.11 a/b/g PC card NIC

The problem:

Accessing projects stored on the project server using
802.11b works fine. There are no problems building and
publishing projects. When using 802.11g, opening an
enterprise project gives us the following error - "There
was an error opening the enterprise resource pool. You may
not have sufficient permission to access the selected
resource(s). Would you like to try again?"

Using our 3COM card, we can manually switch between 802.11b
and 802.11g. When switching to 802.11b, MS Project server
works. Switching to 802.11g gives the error listed above.

Perhaps Proxim and 3COM use the same chipset for 802.11g?
But if this is the case, I don't really have the resources
to buy and test a lot of 802.11g network cards.

Has anyone else used MS Project server while connected
through 802.11g?

I figured this out right after posting the message. There
was a WEP packet decryption bug on the Cisco access point.
I upgraded the IOS software and everything works fine.
