Networking on XP

[Guest]

I have two computers hooked up to a dsl modem/router and i have gone through
the network wizard on both computers and I have gone and set the printers up
for sharing . But eveytime i try and view the workgroup computers it will
not show anything. And I can not print anything off the computer that does
not have the printers conected to it. I am not sure if it is something that
i am doing rong or what the problems is.

Mike,

There is a whole list of items you can check to make sure that your systems
are 'seeing' each other, and are able to communicate. First and foremost is
the XP Firewall (or any other firewalls or security apps that you may have
installed). I wrote a page on P2P troubleshooting that you are welcome to
visit:

As I get time throughout the day (that is a laugh!) I will try to monitor
and answer your questions.
