Is it typical that ping times be higher when ping'ing machines within
my LAN because I'm using wireless clients and encryption on top of
that?

ie. Computers "lan3" and "lan5" are wireless laptop machines on my LAN
connected by a Linksys WAP54G, BEFSR41, WPC54G, and a DELL MiniPCI WLAN
card. The first response is always high then the ping time are normal.
Either at 1ms or 3ms.

I dunno, but here are my ping times too. I'm pinging from a wired
machine through a wireless router to a repeater.

My ping times are below: generally less than 1ms. This is from a pc plugged
into a Belkin F5d8230-4 Pre-N router which, in turn, passes the ping along
to a wireless pc about 35 ft away (with 3 walls and several other
obstructions in between).
