We have three PCs (all running WinXP), and a Linksys router/ADSL modem,
which is connected to the broadband line.
My PC is wired to the router. I have two printers connected to the PC, both
set as shared.
The second PC (a laptop) is wired to the router. It connects to the internet
gateway fine, and can see and print to the two shared printers.
The third PC (a desktop) has a USB wireless adaptor. It connects to the
internet gateway fine, but it can't detect or connect to the two shared
printers (or shared folders on my PC, but that's not a problem).
I've run the Windows XP Network setup wizard on all of them. I've made sure
Windows File and Printer Sharing is enabled on all of them. I've turned off
Windows XP Firewall on all of them. When I look at "view workgroup
computers" on my PC I can see all three, so they're logging onto the
workgroup okay.
Can anyone suggest what the problem might be?
Many thanks for any help
