Does that wireless access-point do NAT?  We have our
wireless connections behind a NAT box, and that does
cause problems for things like WINS and some kinds of
samba connections.  I have no idea if that is related
to what you are seeing, but if the box is doing NAT
then that could be significant.

I am not a samba expert though, so I can't really answer
your question.
