I can't think of a reason why wireless would behave any differently
than wired for samba, unless you have additional settings in place to
shield wifi clients from each other, or if they end up on different
subnets, or something like that. Bottom line is, the only way I can
think of is that this is due to configuration on your wireless
network, so you may want to check your router.

You should also be able to tell this in different ways, such as if the
IP is very different (subnet differs; like in 192.168.1.100 vs.
192.168.2.101), if the netmask (starts with 255 normally) is something
"bigger" than 255.255.255.0 (e.g. 255.255.255.254 could be
problematic).

Anyone has better ideas?
