I have a home network setup using a cable modem and a linksys wireless router.
My home PC is a Win98se wired to the router, with a shared cannon printer.
I bring my XP work laptop home and can connect to my home network via wireless
I see and add the Win98se printer as a network printer on my XP but when I
try a test print it fails. My college kids laptop is a Win98se and she can
connect and print to it.
I can access shared files on my home PC from XP machine.
Any Ideas?
