Is your typing in all upper-case intended to indicate an extrodinary
priority for this matter that could not have been better conveyed by
a mixed-case statement of urgency?
Anyhow. Are the wired and wireless sides in the same IP address range?
If not, then do you have a WINS server configured? You are probably
relying on NETBIOS to have the resources see each others, but NETBIOS
works largely by subnet broadcasts, so if you have multiple subnets
you need WINS servers set up so that the subnets can see each other's
resources.

Why are you shouting? All capitals mean you're shouting.
If you have WEP or possibly WAP enabled on the wireless, then it can
present an issue with wired and wireless machines trying to see each
other. Did you disable encryption on the wireless to verify that is not
the issue? If the WEP or WAP is the issue, then you may have to change
network protocol from NetBEUI to NWlink IPX SPX NetBIOS compatible on all
machines so that the wired and wireless machine can talk to each other
with WEP or WAP enabled. That was my solution when I faced the issue.
You should protect the NetBIOS ports with a software firewall solution on
all machines, if you use the NetBIOS protocol.
