Wireless Network Laptop

Hello there, I have a basic wireless networking quesiton I've been trying to
figure out for a long time!

I've recently got a Linksys WRT54G router. Heres my basic setup. I connect
to the internet through wireless on my laptop. I have 3 other PCs connected
through LAN. I would like to connect my laptop to my LAN network and be able
to copy/write files to and from my other computers. The problem is, when I
connect the laptop to the LAN via ethernet, it works fine, I can see all the
other computers, etc. But when I go through wireless, it says that I have no
access. I've read a few tutorials and primers, but I still cant get it to
work.

I also have a question, I sometimes connect my laptop to some free hotspots
in cafes I visit regularly, I would like it so that when Im connected to
those particular wireless networks that my laptop files arent shared.

Can someone please answer this one I have the same problem, all machine can
ping each other & are obviously connected. It looks like some sort of LAN
DNS/netbios problem between the subnets but I just can't figure it out
