        So pinging to wireless clients from wired should work, but make sure your resolving the mac.  After you trying pinging a wireless client from a wired client.  Check the mac for that IP in your arp table

        arp -a from a cmd prompt on the box your pinging from.

        As stated quite often with wireless to wireless you could have Isolation setup so wireless clients can not talk to each other.  And depending on the wireless router, and if using say a guest wireless network.  You could be preventing wireless from talking to wired.

        First thing I would do when attempting ping is verify MAC is resolved.  And that mac is correct, if correct and still not working - verify host firewall allows icmp/ping – this is common for that to be blocked on say windows default firewall settings.  If firewall is ok, and mac is ok - I would sniff on both pinger and pingee and verify your seeing the traffic go out the wire, and that the pingee is seeing the traffic.

        This really is just basic network troubleshooting 101.
