Wireless PC cannot see non wireless workgroup

I have a network of 5 PC's, one is wireless, the other 4 connected via a hub.
The hub is connected to a router. The router is also wireless enabled
therfore the wireless pc connects via that route, but the wireless pc for
some reason cannot see the workgroup and hence open shared files etc on the
network. It is saying - you may not have permissions. This worked fine until
i needed to renew the router due to a fault, it is the same type of router. I
am thinking it is because the wireless pc attaches to the wireless network on
start up but i still thought it would see the other workgroupo via the
router. Any clues what i may have done wrong would be very much appreciated.

Hi
Assuming that all the computers have an IP assigned by the Router's DHCP and
are in the same Network group.
Successful Sharing involves some general consideration in Network
settings,http://www.ezlan.net/sharing.html As well as specific adjustment of
each computer according to what it is allowed to be shared.

Hi jack, i have been into the router to check they were all assigned ip
addresses and they were. They are all in the same network group. I have set
up all the shares. Thats why i am baffled, it was working fine until i
replaced the router with a new one, not done anything different. i was
wondering whether the wireless settings in any way can affect it

They are all in same workgroup, they are all assigned ip addresses from
router. The shares are all set up in a share point. it worked prior to
replacing the router but i have the settings all the same so am baffled

Hi
Wireless settings should not affect sharing unless there is some issues with
the Router per-se.
Look at the Router's Brand support site, if there is a updated firmware
update the Router.
