Client can't see server default shares with Linksys WPC54Gv3.1

When the client attempts to map the server's default shares,
a Windows message appears: "The mapped network drive could
not be created because the following error has occurred:
Windows cannot find the network path. Verify that the
network path is correct and the destination computer is not
busy or turned off. If windows cannot find the network path,
contact your network administrator."

The path is correct. It is the one used when the client is
connected to the network with a Linksys USB adapter and it
has no problem accessing the server shares. The Linksys
cardbus adapter on the same computer denies shares access.

The two computers are connected via a wireless network. One,
the server, is connected to the internet via ethernet cable
and router. The router is connected to a wireless access
point. Both computers access the internet normally. Either
computer can ping the other's IP address.

The WPC54Gv3.1 driver was installed by Windows, not by the
Linksys installer. When the Linksys installer is used, the
adapter works but the Windows "Choose a wireless network" fails.

Both computers use the same user name and password. There is
no software firewall running on either computer.

What are some things this wireless networking newby should
look at to solve the shares problem?

NetBEUI was in use for printer and file sharing. When I
changed this to TCP/IP, in the Bindings for Wireless Network
Connection box, the client could access the server default
shares (C$ E$) but the server cannot access the client
default share (C$). Any suggestions on how to diagnose this
will be appreciated.
