System with printers - WinXP Home SP2 (Dell)
Client 1 - WinXP Home laptop
Client 2 - WinVista Home premiuim (64bit)
All are part of MSHOME workgroup
Al are running a verison of Symantec protection. I have alowed SMB & file
sharing in the firewalls.
All connect through Linksys wireless router and can access the internet.
When I invoke My Network Places on the system with printers, I see the 2
laptops but not the Dell system.
When I try to add a network printer on either client by \\dell\printershare
it immediately comes back with cannot find printer or server.
On client 1 - My network Places -> show workgroup computer; it says not
authorized
On client 2 - the network shows only the vista laptop.
On the Dell, I had to clean up the adapter services, I removed Netware and
Services advertising Protocol.
What am I missing so I can share 2 printers from the base DEll system with
the laptops?
