Done. I left the default network name as 'openwrt'.

Done.
I put two Windows 7 computers into the OPENWRT workgroup - one on the
wired LAN, one on the wireless LAN. Both have their WINS
configuration set to "NetBIOS over TCP/IP". Both have been rebooted.
On both computers, The network contains three nodes:
- AD1C (wireless)
- JJR (wired)
- OPENWRT (router)
I browse OPENWRT and see the tmp folder. However, when I try to
browse \\JJR (from AD1C) or \\AD1C (from JJR), Windows 7 says "Windows
can not access \\<HOST>"
You also suggested I try browsing by IP address:
\\the.ip.add.ress\sharename
That actually WORKS! So why does the IP address work, but the NAME
(ie. JJR or AD1C) does not?
Note that there is another computer on the wired network, it's still
int the "WORKGROUP" workgroup, and it does *not* show up as a node on
the network. This is what I expected, is that what you expect?
