Wireless Acting Strange

Hi All

I've run into a very weird problem and I'm hoping one or more of you can point me in the right direction.

I am running a network containing both wired and wireless connections.

This is the situation. Throughout the network we have a workgroup called 'Wordlink'. In the workgroup there are approximately 15 computers. 3 of which are notebooks. These are the computers who utilize the wireless, which is connected to the switch via a netgear wireless ap.

Since last week, the 3 notebooks do not see the workgroup computers, nor is it able to ping the other computers on the network. However, it has access to the ADSL connection and is able to surf the internet and download e-mail.

When I plug the notebooks into a wired network point, the workgroup computers miraculously appear.

I've tried everything from resetting the router, to disabling the firewalls. Nothing works.

2 Notebooks run Windows Vista Home Premium, while the third runs Windows XP Pro.

Any thoughts?

Thanks

Jonathan
