when you say you try to connect do you mean you try to access its drives?
if thats what your' talking about you need to install the "File and Printer Sharring" Service that allows you to access other drives and computers.

Installing File and Printer Sharing is definitely the first step on the road to a working network.
Basic Checklist for Networking
1. Ensure that all firewalls are disabled for all computers involved.
2. Ensure that all computers on the network are in the same workgroup.
3. Ensure each computer has File and Printer Sharing installed.
4. Ensure that you have File Sharing enabled - to do this, right-click on any Drive or Folder on one (or all) of the computers, and select Sharing and Security.... Ensure that Share this folder on the Network is enabled.
The checklist is just there to cover the basics
I know you've said that the Wireless computer can ping the wired computer, but can the wired computer connect to the wireless computer?
Try creating a brute connection from the wireless to the wired computer --
Start --> Run --> type \\WIRED_IP\Shared_Drive\Shared_Folder -- ie: \\192.168.0.101\D\Music -- and press OK --> If you're unable to connect, please post the error message that appears.
Start --> Run --> type CMD and press OK --> Now type: net view \\WIRED_IP -- ie: net view \\192.168.0.101 -- are you able to connect?
If these two commands fail, try repeating them whilst both computers are in Safe Mode with Networking..
How to restart into Safe Mode with Networking
Please restart your computer and as soon as it starts booting up again continuously tap F8. A menu should come up where you will be given the option to enter Safe Mode, Safe Mode with Command Prompt and Safe Mode with Networking (along with a few others). Please tap the down key until you reach Safe Mode with Networking, and then press the Enter key. Your computer should now boot into Safe Mode with Networking.
