MSDE timeout with wireless network enabled

Hi,
I have local MSDE installed on my laptop. When I am physically
connected to our network I can connect through my ODBC application
without issue.
However, when I have wireless networking enabled the first time I try to
connect I get a timeout. But, I'm able to immediately connect after
that initial timeout without a problem. This only occurs when wireless
networking is enabled, as the timeout does not occur with a physical LAN
connection.
I have the following installation:
MDAC SDK 2.8
MSDE 8.00.761
XP SP2
VS.NET 7.1
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks,
John
I am having a similar issue using SQL querries over a wireless connection.
Is there a technology that is better suited for wireless? Say .net?
Thanks in advance...

funny thing is that not all wireless installations have this issue, I have
two sites across the street and down about 1/4 mile. One site with approx
250' between wireless access point and client work fairly reliably, the other
is only 50' apart and they fail all the time. I wonder if its the
application making too many querries and boging down the wireless. Both
sites are using identical equipment as well.
