Vista LAN shows XP Shares but Wireless doesn't

Hoping you can help on what is a weird problem to me.

I have wireless XP machines, one of whic has the shared printer connected to it.

On my vista PC, if I connect to my router with a cable I can see all the shares and print to the printer

. I have to use the PC away from the router and have other PCs connected (including Vista!). When I remove the cable and instead connect through the wireless connection the Computers can be seen, the shared folders can be seen but won't open, and it wont print

I get the error "... is not accesible. You may not have permissions to use this network resource...."

I don't know why its different Wireless vs cable. The wireless is a netGear WG111 with the latest driver.

Any ideas please?
