I have a sql server database running. I can connect to this database when my laptop is plugged in via a wired connection. I can connect to file shares on the server or remote desktop to the server over wired or wireless. But I cannot connect to the database over the wireless connection.
Any ideas why this would work over the wired connection only?

Update: Never mind. I had it working this morning, but this afternoon I can't connect again.
I got this working. To fix it, I changed the sql server port rule in the firewall to allow edge traversal:
The reason this works is that our wireless network is on a different vlan (subnet) from our wired network, so from the firewall's perspective the inbound packets were coming through a layer 3 edge device.

If you create a new ODBC connection (if you're using it) while wireless does the connection through that work (when clicking test connection)? – Windos – 2011-02-17T03:15:42.747
