Static ip router and wireless DHCP laptop

I have a laptop that I want to be able to access a shared directory on a pc workstation on our company network. I have full admin priveledges. Here's my situation. The shared directory is on a pc workstation on the network, and that pc has a static ip. the router is on the same subnet and has a static ip . The laptop is wireless and connects to the router via DHCP. I can't view the shared files on the network PC when connected via wireless. (all the basics have been done, ie file and print sharing enabled) I can view the files from another static ip'd pc in the same workgroup. My issue has to be in the router setup. Can someone tell me what I'm doing wrong?

 

First thing to check is that the IP addresses of the wireless and wired connected PC are on the same subnet and can communicate directly. You can use this tool to do that:

If they don't one fix would be to set up a static route between the two networks. Perhaps a route add would do it. Otherwise the DHCP on the router should be set up to use the same subnet of IP address as the statically assigned IPs (with an exclusion range that includes the IP address already adssigned).

 

Thx for the response. I dug around in the router setup today. The router is a Dlink, and as far as I can see, the DHCP route is fixed except for the last group of octets @ 192.168.0.xxx. I'll dig around more and see if I can bridge somehow.the two networks aren't able to communicate. I'll post back.
