remote printer sharing stopped working

trying to debug why remote file/printer sharing from my desktop to wirelessly
connected laptops in the home stopped working suddenly. Simple file sharing
is enabled. running the 'net use' command on the desktop shows both my
printers as being shared.

but \\homedell (homedell being the desktop name) returns failure rather than
a guest login screen. so i guess less a printer problem that a remote host
access? any thought on ways to debug?

thanks, VV
