I have my Airport Extreme set to "n only 5GHz" mode, and I also have a separate wireless G access point so that my sister's PC and other g-only devices can connect to the network.
The AE is the default gateway at 10.0.1.1, the G access point (Linksys WRV200) is 10.0.1.2, and has every service disabled (DHCP, etc.). Basically, it's a bridge for both networks.
When I connect to my N network, I can see my Airport Extreme and the rest to my Macs in the Finder, as well as iTunes shared libraries. I can also mount Airport Disk by double clicking the sharepoint in Finder and they mount on the desktop with the corresponding icon.
However, if I connect to my G network, my Airport Extreme doesn't show up, and my Macs have the ugly PC icon with a different device name. I can't see iTunes shared libraries either. When AE does show up (sporadically btw), it has the fugly PC icon.
I cannot connect to my Airport disks normally, i have to do an Option-K and go to afp://10.0.1.1/diskname to mount it. And even then, the drive has a different icon (nor the Airdisk one). Funny thing, when the drive mounts, the Airport Extreme shows up in the Finder with the correct icon. When I un-mount it, AE dissapears.
I don't have wireless AP isolation enabled, and no other security setting is set up on the G access point. I can't seem to be able to get both access points to play nice.
I know this is a mDNS responder/Bonjour issue. I also forwarded UDP and TCP ports from 5297 to 5354 to 10.0.1.1, without any luck.
Does anyone here have a clue about what the **** is going on?

Thanks in advance.
