cannot connect

[omar]

i can ping on the project server that i installed, i have another machine
that can connect to it and use it, but now i'm using a laptop to connect to
it through a wireless connection, its test for the server existance
correctly but after i enter the user name and the password, is goves me the
following:

"cannot connect.
Project was unable to establish a connection with the selected project
server. this could be caused by a loss of network connectivity, invalid user
name or password, lack of an enterprise global template, or problems with
the project server or database, or your project server may not have
enterprise features enabled"

now the project server is running fine since i can connect to it from
another machine that uses a wired connection. another difference is that the
project server is patched with SP1 while the client is not, will that cause
this error??
any help would more than appriciated.

Omar:

Are the language and locale settings on the laptop the same as the server?

No, the server uses code pages 1252 and the laptops use code pages 1256.
and sorry for the multiple posts.

Omar,

So, there's your answer. Now all you need to do is change the laptops to the
same locale settings or install multi-language support for your region.
