Sharing files

[Guest]

I have two computers that I am sharing on a home network for over a year I
had no problems sharing files and a printer. A couple weeks ago I noticed I
couldn't print from computer B which is my downstairs computer. When I look
at all my shared files and printer on computer A which is my upstairs
computer they are all displayed when I look at the files on computer B it
only displays the files I have shared on computerB its as if its not seeing
the files and printer on A. Can anyone shed some insight?

Frequently, this problem would be caused by a misconfigured or overlooked
personal firewall, or other security component. There are several other
possibilities too, and any might be the cause of your problem. Read this article
with an open mind.

For immediate help, provide "browstat status" and "ipconfig /all" from each
computer, so we can diagnose the problem. Read this article, and linked
articles, and follow instructions precisely (download browstat!):
