Hi, I have a PC which is running Windows XP. This computer runs my network.
I have just upgraded my laptop and have tried to connect to my network so I
can set up printer sharing etc..
My problem is that although I am connected to the server it is not picking
up the printer that is installed, although my old laptop that was running XP
did pick it up..
I have tried switching off my antivirus incase it might have been thath but
it did not work, any ideas!!
 
If you do net view \\remotepcname, it lists the shared printer?
