Bernard Liengme
Home network with 3 XPs (2 with a printer set to shared) and 1 Vista
computer
Tried to give Vista PC access to shared printer on one of the XP units
Of course, I tried Add Printer | Network
Total failure - no printers detected
So I lied: Add Printer | Local; name of port \\Bernard\B's HPLaser
(the XP unit is called Bernard and the printer's share name is "B's
HPLaser")
This worked just fine. Wonder why?
