Trying to connect a XP machine to my W2k at home to share
my printer but can't get the XP machine to see my machine
at all. Really very annoyed as I can usually work most
things out.

Any ideas?
 
Are both machines in the same workgroup/domain? Are they
both getting an IP from the same DHCP server (pc or router
or whatever)?

Ok, the router park makes it easier. Now the workgroup.
They'll need to be in the same workgroup (Right-click My
Computer, choose Properties and click on the Network
Identification tab). The default is WORKGROUP but a lot of
people change this on home computers.

Kag.
(btw, I'm no Microsoft newsgroup helper type, I posted my
own question and while waiting and praying for some help
thought I'd poke around at other people's posts to see if
I could learn something or help... my little disclaimer)
