cisco 4400 problems
Have a cisco 4400 wlan controller, when a mac running os x 10.5.5 is on the managed network, thw mac will see pc's but not mac's. If directly connect the ethernet to it or use another wireless router not controlled by the 4400 it will see the other macs on the network.

I there a setting or a way to force to see macs
Are they on a different subnet or same subnet going through the 4400?
Bonjour works over broadcasts, unless you enable or have allocated for DNS discovery.

Q. I have a number of Macintosh clients in my Unified Wireless Network (which includes WLCs and LAPs). The Macintosh clients experience problems when they connect with Bonjour. How do I overcome this issue?
A. Bonjour is a general method used to discover services on a local area network (LAN). This technology is widely used with Mac OS X and allows users to set up a network without the need to configure printers and file sharing servers (and so forth) on a LAN.
Bonjour uses broadcast, multicast, and multicast Domain Name System (mDNS) service records in order to locate devices, such as printers, other computers, and the services that those devices offer.
In order to correct this issue, use these commands to enable broadcast and multicast on your WLC:
config network broadcast enable
config network multicast global enable

There on the same subnet
So yeah do
config network broadcast enable
config network multicast global enable
config network broadcast enable
config network multicast global enable
I had this issue on a 5508 controller too. I only had to enable "Enable Global Multicast Mode" from the Controller > Multicast menu and Bonjour started to work.
