I have set up a network where I have a printer attached to
a PC running XP home. I have a cable modem attached to a
router and 3 machines (Desktop XP, Laptop XP and Desktop
98) all share the internet connection. The laptop can
share the XP printer but I can't get the 98 machine to see
the printer.

Any suggestions?
 
Is the printer's share name longer than eleven characters, or does it
contain spaces, punctuation or other unusual characters? If so change to a
short, simple share name and see if the Windows 98 computer can see it then.
