installing Broadband Wireless Network on Windows 2000

[Tom in Duncan]

i have the microsoft 510 base station on my computer with
xp Pro and i have set up the connection to the internet,
i am trying to set up the network to allow printing and
when i go to the printers folder on the windows 2000
computer the shared printers are not shown, i ran the set
up network wizard and it prompted me to do a floppy to
install my network settings on the 2 other computers in
the network, the disk did not work on the windows 2000
computer any suggestions

Join the Win2k machine to the same workgroup as the XP Pro machine. Create
a user account on each machine which matches the user name and password used
to log onto the other machine.

Have you gotten this to work? I have the same problem and have not
had any success with the suggestions offered so far.

The XP network setup wizard floppy will not work on Windows 2000 machines.
Also, the XP Pro machines may be set to use simple file sharing. If you are
using XP Pro (not Home Edition) you should disable simple file sharing and
use Win2k's classic file sharing - See:
