I'm using a DIR-628 as the main router for a home network.  Some machines connect to the network using wireless 802.11g while others use ethernet cat-5 cables.  All the machines can talk with each other and share files.

However, when using Network Neighbourhood in Windows Explorer,

1) machines using the wireless network only see other machines on the wireless network.
2) machines on the ethernet network only see other machines on the ethernet network.

3) wireless machines do not see ethernet machines
4) ethernet machines do not see wireless machines

Does anyone know if there is a router setting which affects this?

p.s. All the machines use DHCP provided by the DIR-628 and are part of the same Workgroup.  Moving a machine from wireless to ethernet causes it to loose track of the wireless machines and discover the ethernet machines.

Cheers and thanks,
Chris.

Check for the following under Advanced/Adv Wireless:
WLAN Partition : Disable
WMM Enable : Disable
Short GI : Disable

Some other options to try:
Ensure DNS IP addresses are being filled in under Setup/Internet/Manual? You can find these under Status/Device Info/Wan section.
Turn off ALL QoS (DIR only) GameFuel (DGL only and if ON.) options.
Turn off Advanced DNS Services if you have this option under Setup/Internet/Manual.
Turn on DNS Relay under Setup/Networking.
Setup DHCP reserved IP addresses for all devices on the router.
Ensure devices are set to auto obtain an IP address.
Set Firewall settings to Endpoint Independent for TCP and UDP.

Turn off all anti virus and firewall programs on PC while testing.
Turn off all devices accept for one wired PC while testing.
