I am working with 2 new Windows 7 laptops. The issue at hand is that when the user logs in to the laptop they can only see pc's on their own subnet. I am only working with 1 station for now. This station is at a remote office. When it is on the wired network the only other pc's visible are pc's on the same subnet However I can take the same machine and disable the onboard nic and then connect to the wireless network and all the machines on the local and remote subnet are visible. I believe the issue has something to do with NLA and windows 7 but I cannot seem to find a problem. The wierd thing about this station is that I can see the station from my station on the remote network. In other words I am on say 192.168.10.0 network and the remote user is on 192.168.11.0. He cannot see me or ping me but I can ping him. He can ping all other stations on the 11 net but cannot ping anything on the 10 net. All the other stations on the 11 net can ping the 10 net without difficulty. I have dug into the NLA stuff but still cannot find where the problem might be. I have removed the pc from the domain and placed it back in with no change in the results. Any ideas on where to go from here?

Hi, NLA is a technology used in Remote Desktop Services (RDP Server) or Remote Desktop Connection (RDP Client) that requires the connecting user to authenticate themselves before a session is established with the server. It aggregates the network information available to the PC and generates a globally unique identifier (GUID) to identify each network. In other words, it creates a Network Profile for any network it connects to. The Windows Firewall then uses that information to apply rules from the appropriate Windows Firewall Profile. So, please close your firewall for test. And make sure there is no policy of access deny in Domain or in router. Also there might be some configurations have set in domain.
