File & Print sharing over wireless network...

I have a SBC DSL account, with their 2wire SW1000 modem, which is wireless.
#1 computer has 2 printers connected to it & shared & is plugged into the
LAN port on the 2wire.
#2 computer is connected via a 2wire usb adapter.
I am trying to connect to the printers that are shared on #1 computer, but
can't.
I can ping each other by name or address, but can't see when I look at
workgroup computers, even though they are both in the same workgroup.
File & Print sharing is on, what else am I missing?

Hi

As far as Printer and File Sharing is concern it does Not matter if the
connection us wire or wireless.

Successful Sharing involves some general consideration in Network settings,

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