Hello,

As a recent [happy] convert to Apple/Mac, I bought Airport Express to complement my two MacBooks. They are both Intel Macs. I have two places I work wirelessly--one location uses a Netgear Rangemax and the other the Airport Express. I use Windows XP for some development work in SQL Server. Here is the strange thing:

-I use Enterprise Manager in SQL Server to upload tables etc. This is done on the Windows side and works fine when I am connected wirelessly to the Netgear router.
-When I take the SAME MacBook pro to the other location, where I am connected wirelessly to the internet via Airport Express, I cannot upload any tables in Enterprise Manager. I get an error that the SQL Server does not exist or access denied.

Since the same computer works absolutely fine at the other location, my guess is there is a parameter on the Airport Express (like port forwarding...?) that isn't set correctly. I have spent quite a bit of time on this already and before I throw in the towel and just buy another Linksys or Netgear router (as I can't lose any more time on this), I was wondering if anyone had any ideas of what I could try to do to make this work.

As I said, I am rather new to the Mac, so maybe I am missing something....

Many thanks in advance!
