my wired home network consists of 2 computers: PC1 running XP Home SP1
and PC2 running XP Home SP2. PC2 has a printer attached which I would
like to share
Both computers can access the internet through my Belkin router.
On PC2 My Network Places shows the shared files for both computers.
On PC1 My Network Places shows the shared files for PC1 only.
When I try to add the PC2 printer to PC1, the printer doesn't show up.
When I ping PC1 from PC2 I am successful
When I ping PC2 from PC1 I get four timeouts.
I have already run the network setup wizard, made sure they are on the
same
workgroup, and that they have unique names.
I don't really care about the file sharing, what I really want to do
(other than share the internet connection) is to share the printer.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
