I have a nice wired/wireless setup that, for most things works well. My G3 tower is wired to my Linksys router, as are two network printers and my AirPort Base Station. Two PowerBooks and a Cube connect via the AirPort. Everything works great except, I cannot log on to any of the wireless computers from the wired G3, but they can all log onto the G3 and each other. The only setting in the AirPort set up that I might change is the "AirPort client computers" setting under the Network tab: right now it says "Share a single IP address"; I was going to switch it to "Share a range of IP addresses". "Enable AirPort to Ethernet bridging" is on.

Anyone else experience something like this?

you are correct: you don't want "share a single ip address". that will turn on nat and dhcp on the wireless. instead you want to have the dhcp server that's serving the wired network (probably your router or cable/dsl modem) to serve up ips. then everyone will be on the same subnet and will live happily ever after.
