problem sharing files between wireless and ethernet connected computers
first, thanks in advance for your help.
my local network is comprised of a linksys wrt54g-tm router, an HP desktop, Linkstation external harddrive, and two laptop commuters. i have set-up and assigned each computer to local workgroup named M4NET and set up file and printer sharing on each machine. when connected to the internet via my motorola cable router and comcast isp, the ethernet connected devises are visible to each other and can share files as expected. likewise, the wireless connected devises can do the same (wireless ssid M4NET). however, i cannot share files or printers between ethernet and wireless connected devises. i have turned off all firewalls and at one point uninstalled all firewalls to make certain this was not the issue. most interesting, all the devices are accessible to each other and can share files and printing when i disconnect the cable modem and internet access. file and print sharing also works for the laptops when connected via ethernet adapter as opposed to wireless. it is worth noting that both laptops run atheros wireless adapters, an AR9281 and an AR5005G. below are the ipconfig /all details from the ethernet and wireless connected computers.
