sure, im refreshing the thread now and again so if im around ill reply, or one of the other readers will help you out if they can be bothered to make the time.

you understand basicly how a (wireless)router works ?.

its something like this
theres two main parts,the WAN AND THE LAN.

the (Wireless)router is the primary device , its WAN side plugs into the VM-CM LAN rj45 port and gets given a valid webside IP,VM route, 'subnet mask' and DNS.

thats it for the WAN side, its now upto the router to pass all your data/packets to and from that LAN side connected PCs to the WAN side.

the routers LAN side then gives out valid IP ranges (usually) to the wired and wirless PCs, passes on the set DNS,route.

all the LAN side PCs weather wired or wireless are talking to the router nothing else, so your problem is on the routerLAN side and thats were we need to look to get the correct settings in place so the wireless PC can talk.

i assume the wired PCs are working fine and you can browse to the routers web pages, you didnt answer that simple question so we are just guessing right now until you answer.
