I have
1) windows xp desktop named computer2 (without wireless capability)
2) windows vista desktop named computer1 (without wireless capability)
3) windows vista laptop named monstlaptop (with wireless capability)
4) speedtouch 585 router/dsl modem
every thing works great if i connected the laptop using wired ethernet to the router. I can access every computer from every other computer.
The problem appears when i connect the laptop using the wireless connection in which case accessing the shared folders on computer2 works for a short while then vista's windows explorer hangs for a minute, then gives error message that says computer2 is not accessible.
It's not only windows sharing problem, also connecting to utorrent(that runs on computer2)'s gui doesn't work.
I thought the wireless connection might be too slow or something, but i can access from monstlaptop computer1 easily without any access/speed problems.

Thanks very much for reading, and thanks for advance for your advices and tips.
