Hi Phil What you are trying to do is fairly standard and there is no reason it shouldn't work.
Try creating a new network location for your settings on each machine. Make sure you then select that location from the Apple menu - don't leave it on Automatic (not sure how the Automatic location works). Then in the "Network Port Configurations" option in the "Show" drop down section of the network prefs panel set the order of active network ports so that Airport is at the top (simply drag it up to the top). This will ensure that Airport is used as the first option for networking. I make it a practice to disable the ports I am not using. I hope this helps.
