hi, folks... I know I'm missing something simple here, but
I'm stumped... have 3 machines, all W2KPro boxes w/ SP3;
all w/ Outpost Firewall v2. Firewall configured so that
the home network is "trusted zone" and all machines can
freely talk to one another. Supposedly. Can't seem to
figure out what else needs to be set so that the two
printers I have on my box (which are already set to be
fully shared) can be utilized freely without requiring a
logon to my machine. Right now, my wife can't print to
the shared printer unless she first logs on to my box from
her machine (via Network|Computers Near me and double-
clicking on the icon representing my box). Help! Thanks.
 
Make sure all computers are in the same workgroup and that all useraccounts
exist on all computers. Got File- and printersharing loaded?
