Hi there

I have a Desktop at home connected to Internet via DSL router connected to
the Ethernet port. The router has wireless capabilites.
On the other hand I have a laptop and I connecto to Internt via WiFi.
I would like to know how I could share the Printer connected to the Desktop
so I can print from the laptop through the wireless connection.

Thanks for your help!!

Jose,

Your problem statement begs some questions. Is the laptop connecting to the
Internet thru the same DSL router as the desktop? If so, you have a simple file
sharing issue, as dozens of folks here.

OTOH, if the laptop connects remotely (as your Subject implies), you will need a
VPN setup. This is a bit more complex than simple file sharing.

So please start by describing, in more detail, your needs. Make and model of
all network hardware is good to start with.
