Missing Windows Computers in Shared
I have a Netgear router that has 2 SSIDs one for the 2.4GHz b/g/n network and another for the 5GHz a/n network. When connected to the 5GHz network none of my Windows machines show up under the SHARED heading in Finder, when connected over 2.4 GHz, they immediately show up...

At the time those comments were posted (1 to 3 years ago) I don't think the shared A/N networks were availble from most wireless routers.
