I am running win xp home on a gateway 500. I have a cable connection hooked up through a router (Comp usa - gigafast). The second computer is running windows me and has a usb wireless adapter.
The second computer is able to share the internet connection, no problem. I want to share my printer with him as well. I set up a network on the ME computer and his computer is visible on the network. On the XP computer however, nothing shows. For the life of me I don't know what I am missing. I set up the printer to allow sharing - but I am getting nowhere!!!

Please help me!
