Thanks Galen,

LAN connectivity works through WiFi for both machines. I haven't tried pinging, 
but as I said, when I had a netatalk AFP server running on Linux, the OS X 
machine could see it - it just couldn't make a connection to it. 

I'll check ifconfig and see what's in the smb config file - maybe that'll she's 
some light.
