I have two computers sharing a cable modem connected to a
router. I have a printer installed on a LPT1 (printer)
port on one computer and I am trying to share it. I have
the Internet Connection Firewall enabled on both
computers. I can't seem to access it from the other
computer. Any suggestions on how to resolve this?
Thanks!!
 
Turn off the Internet Connection Firewall on the computer
with the printer. You are protected from the Internet by
your router (which is a hardware firewall).
