Can't find Printer.

[scatman]

We had a single desktop (XP) at home, which my wife used when working
@home to log into her work system via citrix.

A few weeks ago her office gave her a new Laptop.

I decided to get a Linksys WRT54G so I could plug in the desktop, and
she could work on her laptop anywhere in the house.

The wireless connection works fine, as she has internet access and can
log into her office system from anywhere in the house (or even
outside)

BUT..... I can't get the laptop to find the printer that is connected
to the desktop.

Yes, the printer is set to share.

When I go to "Add Printer" on the laptop, I try to browse for it, but
the printer does not show up in the dropdown box, nor does the home
network.

Am I missing something?

Thanks....

Are both PCs in the same Workgroup?
