My dad and i just set up a network between our two
computers. We were haveing trouble trying to use the
internet on my computer running threw his computer so we
got a hub. I can now get the internet on my computer but
now i am trying to be able to use the printer that is
attached to his computer. I followed all the instructions
went to help and every thing but it always ends up with
this "You do not have permission to use files on
the "family" computer" My dad has switch the permission
so that it is open to me but i do not get the printer on
my computer or any other files. sometimes i see his
computer on the network other times not. we both have
windows XP. pls e-mail me with questions or help about
this. we hav been working on this for a long time. E-mail
me if u need more information about the problem. Thanks
alot! i really need an answer to this!!
