Help setting up network

G

Guest

I have two computers...the main one is XP Pro and the other is ME. They're
connected through a router....the XP machine is connected to the router with
a wire and the ME machine is connected via wireless.

For the first time, I'm trying to set up a network to allow printer sharing
(printer is directly connected to the XP machine).

I made an attempt to set up a network, but I think I screwed up and used
just went through "home or small office setup" rather than "wireless network
setup".

While I can see the other machine (sometimes) from the XP machine, things
don't seem to be working well at all.

I want to delete the network I have set up and start over, using the
wireless wizard, but don't know how to completely erase the "old" network.

Can anyone help me with this situation?

Thanks

Do both computers have Internet connectivity? If so, you probably have a
problem that the network setup wizard won't help with. The Windows ME and XP
browsers don't work well together. You need to prevent the Windows ME computer
from acting as the master browser.
