Win2000 laptop and WinME computers working fine w/ SMC
Router, Win2K can see WinME printer. Swapped to a Linksys
Wireless router, and wireless PCMIA for laptop. From
Win2K laptop can get out to cable modem, but cannot ping
or "net view" the WinME machine any longer?

Click to expand...
1. From desktop double click "My Network Places"
2. Double click "Entire Network"
3. Select "Search for Computers"
4. Enter the computer name where your printer resides
5. "Search Now" (may take a full minute)
6. "Connect As:" use your Administrator username and
password
7. You should now see the printer you need

You'll need to do this after every Shut Down of your
laptop. Good luck!!
