I have anSBC Yahoo DSL connection, a Linksys WRT110 connected to the modem,
an XP desktop connected via ethernet cable & a vista laptop connecting via wireless. I want to be able to share a printer connected to the desktop & print to it from the laptop. This should work, right? Both computers are in the MSHOME workgroup, but don't 'see' each other. What am I missing? -- Mr. Simpson, there are thousands of people like you with no discernable talent.

Sure, you should be able to see each other. Can you ping each other by IP?
If not, check the firewall settings. -- Bob Lin, Microsoft-MVP, MCSE & CNE Networking, Internet, Routing, VPN Troubleshooting on http://www.ChicagoTech.net How to Setup Windows, Network, VPN & Remote Access on http://www.HowToNetworking.com "Mike" <(E-Mail Removed)> wrote in message news:(E-Mail Removed)... >I have anSBC Yahoo DSL connection, a Linksys WRT110 connected to the modem, >an XP desktop connected via ethernet cable & a vista laptop connecting via >wireless. > I want to be able to share a printer connected to the desktop & print to > it from the laptop. > This should work, right? > Both computers are in the MSHOME workgroup, but don't 'see' each other. > What am I missing? > > -- > Mr. Simpson, there are thousands of people like you with no discernable > talent. > Yeah, they're called Congress. > |

Firewalls were off on both, but it just dawned on me, one of them is running
that Norton 360 & I'll bet it's blocking it. -- Mr. Simpson, there are thousands of people like you with no discernable talent. Yeah, they're called Congress.

Hi
Make sure that the Software Firewall on each computer allows free local traffic. If you use 3rd party Firewall On, Vista/XP Native Firewall should be Off, and the active Firewall has to adjusted to your Network IP numbers on what is some time called the Trusted Zone (consult your 3rd Party Firewall instructions. General example, http://www.ezlan.net/faq#trusted Vista File and Printer Sharing- http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/l.../bb727037.aspx Windows XP File Sharing - http://support.microsoft.com/default...b;en-us;304040 http://support.microsoft.com/default...b;en-us;304040 Printer Sharing XP - http://www.microsoft.com/windowsxp/u...utt_july2.mspx Windows Native Firewall setting for Sharing XP - http://support.microsoft.com/kb/875357 Windows XP patch for Sharing with Vista (Not need for XP-SP3) - http://support.microsoft.com/kb/922120 Jack (MVP-Networking).

Ok, I can see both computers in workgroup, printer shared from XP machine is
listed on Vista laptop as an available printer. I connect, yada, yada, yada, print a test page & nothing comes out of printer. There is a '1' under the icon for shared printer, but opening the printer shows nothing there. If I look at printer from XP, nothing shows in print que.
