Anyone know a way on an Autonomous Cisco AP to get two SSID's to share one VLAN?

Name resolution? are you connecting to the share with IP or hostname? If it's by hostname and it's trying to resolve with NetBIOS that could be an issue.

How are you attempting to access the shares? Have you tried accessing the shares via ip? e.g. \\10.0.0.2\share

Edit: Oops..

I was getting at this.

If you're trying to access the shares on a different broadcast domain via the hostname you'll need to create entries in the hosts files.

The share names would be the same. I can't make two host entries. It's all on one box.

That box would love 5GHz connectivity, but some 2.4GHz clients can't connect.

It's definitely not a routing issue. IP traffic is routed.

The printer is USB and the drive shares are //COMPUTER/SHARE based.
 
Yeah, you need a real dns or map to IP addresses. You are resolving hostname with a broadcast very similar to ARP resolution. "Who has XXXXX name" and if no one in the broadcast domain has it the resolution fails.

You might be ok to edit some host files and resolve names that way, though the cameras might be troublesome.

You only need to resolve one host name then. You aren't resolving the share name
