My computers will not connect

[Nobbody]

All,

My computers are not "seeing" each other for some reason. All I want to do
is share my printers between them.

Here's the setup:

Two computers both running Windows XP Pro.

Connected in the following manner:
a) Internet connects to b) DSL modem which goes to c) Linksys Broadband
Router which goes to d) Computer 1 & 2.

Computer 1 is going to be the host.

I ran the network setup wizard on both computers and designated both my
printers to be shared.

When I use the install printer wizard on Computer #2, they are not seeing
each other.

I consider myself relatively computer literate so I am at a loss as to what
the problem might be considering everything seems to have run as it should
have.

Any help is appreciated.

Thanks in advance.

Did you run the XP networking wizard on both computers and ensured the same
workgroup on both and different computer names.
The wizard is quite good.

Alan,

As I mentioned in my first message...

"I ran the network setup wizard on both computers...."
And yes, I did follow the same workgroup etc.

If you have any other relevant info, I'd love to have it.

Thanks,

N
