Sound like this might be something, I have it connected like you said it should be already, but DHCP is indeed turned on on the wireless one afaik, I will try this when I get home.

Did you turn off the NAT capabilities of the second router, this might cause the inability to fileshare, cause the other computers can't see the computers on the second router just the router.
No, because I didn't quite figure out how. Might be a dumb question, but in NAT different from Firewall options (might be labeled differently? the wired router menu says NAT for what the other one calls firewall)?

Nope, didn't know about that, I will try this as well once I get home.

What you could try is setting up a port forward on the wireless router. I'm afraid you'll have to research the port you need to forward yourself.
I tried that, I actually found the ports but I had to make a new rule for each IP and it didn't seem to work from the 5mins I spent with it yesterday.
Thanks for all your suggestions, now I have something to try. I will try the things you suggested once I get home and I'll tell you how it went.
6537 days, 16 hours, 33 minutes, 17 seconds ago until I get home
EDIT: Right, I tried some of your suggestions and here is the result:
#1 (turn off DHCP): I had already disabled this, so this wasn't a solution
#2 (turn off NAT): I am still unsure if NAT is same thing as firewall or not, but the firewall is disabled.
#3 (use a path to access the computer): I haven't tried this yet, but even if it does work I would like a solution which lets me access the computer from My Network Places etc.
#4 (forward IPs): I already partly tried this, didn't work. But firewall is disabled anyway, so it shouldn't matter, right?
