First check your resolution method and make sure that it is not set to use
WINS only.  If it is on the same subnet, WINS should not be an issue.

Second if you ping do you resolve to an address. If so, you can again rule
out WINS.

Have any of you folks ever played around with Microsoft File and Print
Sharing via wireless networks?  I can't always get UNC names to register
even through I am using WINS.

I've got a lab with the following configuration:
20 IBM NetVistas with LinkSys WUSB11's (Windows 2000)
2 Apple Airports with 7 channels of separation (Channel 4 and Channel
11)

All computers have File and Printer Sharing enabled.  All the computers are
configured to use the same WINS server which is located on a different
subnet.  There is one computer in the room with resources that all the other
computers need to access.  Not all the computers in the room can always
connect to this one machine via UNC.  This is odd because the machines are
all using WINS, so theoretically they should know how to find the computer.
What I am not sure of at the moment is if only computers on the same airport
can see each other.

You guys ever play with this stuff or know of any issues??
