Re: No Wireless Communication but Yes Wired
The wired and wireless connections have unique configurations for the NIC (Network Interface Controller). They may be on the same subnet, but they cannot be at the same IP at the same time. Be sure to look at the ipconfig or better yet, the adapter properties for IPV4 and determine if the Wireless is setup for the team IP and unique. By default the DS uses 10.te.am.5 and 10.te.am.9.

Once the Wireless IP is set, make sure the laptop wifi is on, and you should be able to click on the network glyph on the system tray. Do you see the team network listed? Is is connected? If the other laptops list the name otherwise known as the SSID, check to see the frequency of the laptop wifi and compare that to the dlink. It is possible to pick a frequency range that will not work with all laptops.
