We have two laptops. One has XP installed, the other has XP Professional
installed.

The laptop with XP Professional perfectly shares files with and prints
through our 98 desktop. I can not get the XP laptop to do the same. The add
printer wizard is never able to find a printer on our network.

I've tried everything.

Thanks!

Any time you have Windows 98 and Windows XP on the LAN together, you have a
potential for a browser conflict.

If no help yet, lets look at "browstat status" and "ipconfig /all" from each XP
computer, and try and diagnose the problem. Read this article, and linked
articles, and follow instructions precisely:
