Hi,

Equipment:
Billion wireless ADSL router
1x Laptop - Vista
1x Laptop - Win 7

Problem:
Not able to do file sharing when accessing over wifi

Notes:
Internet works fine using both Wifi and cable
File sharing works fine when using cable on both machines
File sharing works fine when accessing a wired machine, from a wireless machine
File sharing does not work when trying to access a wireless machine from a wired machine
i.e. problem when trying to file share with a machine on wireless connection (router not allowing to send data to a wireless device?)

Solution:
?

Thanks
 
Upgrade Firmware and double check Sharing settings.
 
Like teraside said and also check if a firewall is not on on the Wireless connection... it might be off on the lan connection only...
Can you ping the wireless machine's IP?
