it might very well be...
The wireless access point - does it have some security setting on it to
prevent wireless users from accessing other parts of the LAN? - does it
put wireless users in a DMZ ?
Question if you do (on both machines):
#route -n
Kernel IP routing table
Destination Gateway Genmask Flags Metric Ref Use
Iface
192.168.0.0 0.0.0.0 255.255.255.0 U 0 0 0 eth0
169.254.0.0 0.0.0.0 255.255.0.0 U 0 0 0 eth0
0.0.0.0 192.168.0.254 0.0.0.0 UG 0 0 0 eth0
does they look like above?
do they both have same gateway address?
(your gateway address may be 192.168.0.1 or something in 192.168.0.x
