Hi,

I have 7 computers in the company. All computers are runing XP. I
shared 1 printer in computer A and shared to the network. I can add
this printer in other 4 computers except 2(B and C). I usually will go
to add printer wizard. I only enter the \\computer_name\, it will
search for me. However, it didnt do it in computer B and C. Computer B
i can find computer A but cannot find that printer under computer A.
Also, I cannot find anything even computer A and the printer in
Computer C.

Please help!!

Please present this situation to an XP group where you are more apt to get
help.
 
XP Home or XP Pro. XP Home has a limitation of 5 PCs connecting, XP Pro has
a limitation of 10. I think you're probably exceeding the 5 connection
limitation there. Solution is to use XP Pro on the PC with the printer....
or of course, use two printers on two separate PCs.
