Limited Ping/accessibility on MN500

Here's my layout:
Server and 4 clients off of a 100MB hub
Server running RRAS/NAT to the internet
MN500 as wireless bridge off the hub
Laptop with wireless card

All of the clients can see each other, the server, and
the internet.
The laptop can see the server and the internet.
The laptop can NOT see the clients, nor vice versa.

By "see", I mean they can not ping, or connect through
IP. Not for file sharing, not for games, not for
anything.

I've looked all over the http console for the MN500, but
I'm not seeing any setting that would allow or disallow
this.

Any thoughts?

Thanks,
Chris

Do you have any firewalls on the other computers behind the MN-500? Such
as black ice defender, zone alarm, norton internet security, McAfee
personal firewall, PC-cillin, etc...

None whatsoever. There is a firewall on the RRAS server
to the outside world, but all 4 clients + the laptop are
in the same address space, all on the same side of the
RRAS, so it never goes to the gateway.

For example, from the laptop, trying to tracert to a
client, it dies on the first line. I can ping the
gateway, so if it were going to the gateway, then out to
the clients, I'd at least see that success on the
tracert, but there's no reason for it to hit the gateway
because it's the same address space.
