We've been having this problem on our campus lately with windows computers associating with one single access point only on our enterprise network. The network setup works flawlessly in our help desk area, but as soon as they leave the room and go down the hall it stops. Of course every time they come back it works fine.
To fix the problem I have been fairly successful running netsh resets on winsock and ipv4 and then running a Microsoft Fixit tool. That seems to work most of the time, but sometimes the problem returns.
I'm at a bit of a loss as to what is really happening here. If anyone has a clue, please clue me in.
We run a Trapeze network. I'm support personnel so I don't know the intimate details of the network, but I can have Stephen chime in if someone would like details. I have not personally seen this happen on a mac computer, but I can't guarantee that it hasn't happened.
