When I use a cat 5 cable in my laptop, I can connect to to a Windows XP Pro machine on the network but when I unplug the cable and use a WiFi card, trying to connect to that computer gives error:

\\computerName is not accessible.
The network path was not found.

I don't have a problem connecting to other computers on the network via WiFi. The same problem happens with a second wireless laptop. Could it be a setting on the XP Pro machine?
