why does bass have both a FastEthernet NIC to WAP and a wireless card?
Try simplifying things down and testing thorougly. Disable the wireless
card in 'bass', and replace the WAP with a cheap 8 port switch or a cross

make the basic networking are correct.....ip, subnet mask, etc.
try pining on the machines from each other, etc.
