can't connect to SQL Server wireless but can with wired

Yes, ping works fine and I can even access a shared folder on the SQL
computer. All normal domain tasks (access file servers, proxy, exchange)
work ok. The SQL server has the latest service packs as well.

If I simply do "Test Connection" in the ODBC panel, it passes in about 1
second or less when using the wired connection. When using wireless, the
test connection waits for about 10 seconds and then says it failed with a
login timeout. Login timeout on the server is set to 20 seconds and even if
we set it to much longer, the wireless connection still fails in 10 seconds.

We just don't know where to look next.
