Well as far i found out i have to connect to the Win PC's with W-Lan by hand. Means Finder ⌘ K Key (connect to Server) type the ip of the Win PC you want to ad. Decide acces as guest or as user (User and password req) and thats it.

Hope someone can explain when lan kable is in use you get the names of the local PC's and in W-lan you have to ad them by hand.

Hope this help somebody out there.. Sorry for my still misserable english. But as a russian spy you want learn english very well ;)
