Time, I don't know where you leave off in the wireless procedure, so I'll mention a couple things. If your using a K10D, hit Fn button and go to the W and lightening strike to the far right. On the flash units, slide the right side slider down to yellow dot and hit the zoom/ch. button 'til you have CH. 1 displayed in the upper right of the flash LCD. Move the slider back up to white dot. Turn flash on to Wireless. If you want the on-board flash to contribute to the exposure, set the C function to #1 (Controller). If not, set it at #2 (Master). Doing this from memory so I trust others will correct as necessary.
