1)laptop with 802.11 built in and windows XP, 2) desktop computer with
Windows ME, 3) HP all-in-one printer, 4) netgear router (from previous
setup), 5) linksys print server, and 6) a SLOW dialup connection.
I tried the Ambicom wireless print connections but wont work with all-in-one
printers. Dont care about using dialup in network, just want to have

I have a HP2510 all-in-one setup on my network, but it has built in wireless
so it makes it easy. If your netgear router is wireless then this is what
you do.

1. Connect your desktop to the router via ethernet into one of its ethernet
ports.
2. Connect your laptop to the router using your wireless connection.
3. Let your router use DHCP to assign the computers IP addresses.
4. Run the Network Wizard on both computers.
5. Also setup the 2 computers IPs in the Exceptions area of your
firewalls.(If you are using one)
6. Make a workgroup on both computers.
7. Install your printer on the desktop as a Network printer as per the
manufacturers instructions.
8. Goto your laptop and install the network printer using the Add Printer
Function.

That should be it.
