Printer

[Stumpy]

Am trying to connect two systems on a home network, both
MS XP Home. Specifically, I'm trying to connect to a
printer wired via USB to an Ethernet-wired computer, from
a wireless notebook (G) through a Netgear router on a DSL
line. None of the devices see each other. Windows
Firewall is OFF, both systems are SP2, user accounts are
setup on both systems for the other system, have run the
Network Setup Wizard, printer is shared . . . What am I
missing ?

1) Did you establish an SSID through the netgear software
which comes up as a web page and under that did you setup
the wireless settings/setup access list. In there you
need to have the device/computer eg. "DT124354" name and
mac id.

You must right click on your printer icon in printers and
faxes and share the printer to the entire network.

After all this is done you need to open My Network
Places, and if all is done correctly all shared folders
should appear, if you want additional folders available
add them by sharing them at their source.

Ho Ho Ho!!
