I have a network that starts with a Linksys wireless router (DSL connected here) then it goes to a Netgear switch (computers connected here) and then a Netgear wireless router for an iMAC to connect to. I can't see the last router or the iMAC on my Win 7 machine? when I map network I get an error message about an incompatible device.
Ensure either LLDP, SSDP or Samba are enabled on all machines. I can't remember which but try Samba first. How is the wireless router configured? Gateway mode or is it functioning as a NAT device?
Post the output of ifconfig -a from your iMAC and ipconfig /all from one of your Windows machines.
