I am trying to setup a home network. I have a wireless
router connected to a DSL modem which is connected to my
XP desktop. I have installed wireless cards in each of my
laptops. All 3 laptops can now surf the net wirelessly,
but I can't seem to setup printer sharing and file
sharing, excpet for 1 laptop. When I install a network
printer this 1 laptop finds the xp computer and the
workgroup, printer, etc. So that I can printer from the
laptop to the printer on the desktop - works great. But
the other two laptops can't find the network printer or
the desktop computer??? Can't seem to figure it out. Any
help would be appreciated.

Thanks
 
Have you tried setting up a network printer and just typing the UNC path
instead of browsing?

You might also try typing the UNC from Run, then right clicking the printer
and select connect.
