I have a network with two segments. Computer A is connected to
computer B through an ethernet direct cable at 100 mbps. Computer A is
also connected to computer C through a HomePNA 1mbps adapter. Computer
A is connected to the internet and both C and B are connected to the
net through A, however there is no direct connection between B and C.

My printer is connected to computer C.

Question is, is there a way to print from computer B to the printer
connected to C although it is on a different network segmment?

[A is XPpro, B is XPhome, C is win2000]

Thanks,
Elli

Create a network bridge on Computer A, which will join the Ethernet
and HomePNA networks together in a single logical network segment.
All of the computers will be able to share files, printers, and an
Internet connection with each other. I've written a web page with
details:

Thanks Steve,
I tried this once and it did not work. I received an
error message. I will try it once again once I get back
from a trip, and if it fails again I will post the error
message on a seperate thread.
