Help - I can not find my printer on my wireless network. I have had many
wireless card problems and I had to reinstall Windows XP. I also had to send
my computer back to Dell to be fixed. Well it is fixed now - but I can not
find my printer. I have connected to the network and I can get on line. But
when I try to add a printer - when I browse it only finds the Microsoft
Windows Network. I do have McAfee Firewall - but I disabled it. (The
Windows Firewall was previously disabled.) There is another laptop on the
network that is working and printing fine - so I know that sharing is enabled
and things are working from the other end. Please help!
 
The Laptop was not appearing in the workgroup. It was sharing files with the
desktop and was online - just not seeing the other computers or printer.
After much frustration, I reinstalled the network with the Microsoft Networks
Wizard. I found that I had put in Evanshome as the name when it should have
been EvansHome. That made all of the difference.
Thanks for the website link. There is really good information there.
