Can't Network Printer

I'm using Microsoft Wireless Network adapters and Base
Station to network three computers. I have no problem
sharing internet connection or sharing the printer that's
attached to an adapter, but I can't access the printer
that's attached t the Base Station computer. When I use
the Add Printer wizard, it browses for available printers
and lists the one I'm trying to attach, but when I select
it and click Next, it says that it can't find the printer.

I have tried changing the name to eliminate blanks,
hyphens, and shorten it to fewer than eight characters,
but the displayed name is always the same. Even if it
matches the share name or if I change it to match, I
still get the same result.

Any help would be appreciated.

Never mind. The problem is ZoneAlarm. When I disabled
it, I was able to install and access the printer.
ZoneAlarm Pro has an option to allow access from the
local network, so I guess my era of free ZoneAlarm is
over.
