Hi
I recently installed a linksys router allowing me to share my broadband
connection over 2 computers. I would also like to share printers however the
computer that is connected to the network wirelessly doesn’t appear in my
workgroup. I contacted linksys and they said to get in contact with
Microsoft.
So basically my computer connected wirelessly can communicate with the
router but not with the other computer on the network.

Any ideas on what is causing this?

Operating system: Windows XP Home

You should post to one of the printer newsgroups or perhaps contact the
Linksys support area. This newsgroup supports Microsoft's Broadband
Networking hardware and software only.

Did you run the Network Setup Wizard on both computers?
