I have three computers on a home network. One is hardwired to the wireless
router. The other two have wireless connections. All three can access the
internet. Wireless 1 can see shared folders and printers on the hardwire and
visa versa. Wireless two cannot see any other computers on the network. All
3 computers can ping each other with IP addresses. Wireless one and Hardwire
can ping each other by computer name. Wireless two cannot ping names of the
other two. Workgroup name is the same for all. Firewalls have been disabled
for all with no change in result. Any ideas what I am doing wrong?

I did search but could not find a solution although I presume this is not an
unusual problem. Maybe I'm a bad searcher as well as a bad networker!

Thanks in advance for any help.
 
It sounds to me that if you can ping an IP but a name then it is an issue
with the domain name service (DNS) on wireless 2.

research that and see what you come up with.
