Cannot connect to network server

I am running two Windows 2000 SP4 computers with a Linksys WRT54G wireless
router and wireless PCI adapter. I am currently able to connect to the
internet (cable modem) from both computers, and can connect from the "server"
to the wireless (WMP54G) computer, but can no longer connect from the
wireless to the wired computer. I can ping the server's IP address, but when
I try to access it I get the message "Microsoft Windows Network: the network
name cannot be found."

It appears that the wireless is trying to access the server with an
incorrect IP address, but I cannot figure out how to change it.

Can anyone suggest a solution?
 
Sounds like a WINS or DNS issue.
