I have 2 routers, one for my VoIP telephone and one wireless. I can connect
to the Internet fine, but I am unable to see the printer. I have set up a
workgroup and my laptop can connect to it, but I can't see anything inside
the workgroup. Can anyone give me any direction. The VoIP router is
connected to my cable modem and the wireless router is connected to it.

Thanks for anyone's help.

Hi
In order to be able to Share, all computers have to be connected to the
Wireless Router (It can be with a wire, or wireless).
Configure the File and Printer Sharing on each computer and you would be
able to share.
Successful Sharing involves some general consideration in Network settings,

As well as specific adjustment of each computer according to what is allowed
to be shared.

On the desktop I have sharing setup but I still can't see it from my laptop.
Also i can't see any disk drives on my desktop either.
