Question about Powershell and Wireless

Since I don't test anything at home, is it our network at work or does powershell not work over wireless. Even if I run a simple command say

Get-WmiObject Win32_LogicalDisk -ComputerName $computer -Filter "DeviceID='C:'" | Foreach-Object { "{0:n2}" -f ($_.FreeSpace/1GB) + " Gigabytes" }

on a wireless connected computer, no dice. Wired = good.

PowerShell works on all wireless networks.

You must be an administrator and the firewall and other things must be set up correctly for PowerShell to work on any network.
