Net working set up and printer sharing

[Guest]

I hope someone can help me. I have been trying to set up a three computer
home network and printer sharing, but I get to a point and then I get lost.
I have one desktop which is connected to the internet through a router and
cable modem. My two laptops are wireless which can access the internet via
wireless connection through my router.

Is there an easy way to make the network setup using the configuration that
I have described? I am not as interested in file sharing as I am printer
sharing.

Thanks for any help.

Lowell,

File sharing and printer sharing use the same resources. What point do you get
to when you get lost? Did you run the Network Setup Wizard, and specify for
each computer:
This computer connects to the Internet through another computer on my network or
through a residential gateway.

If no help yet, provide "browstat status" and "ipconfig /all" from each
computer, so we can diagnose the problem. Read this article, and linked
articles, and follow instructions precisely:
