I am trying to get a Windows XP computer and an Windows
2000 computer to share a printer over a wireless
network. The printer is connected to the Windows 2000
computer. Neither computer can see the other over the
network.
 
Name Resolution problem. Can you ping the machines by name and/or IP?
If you can ping by IP but not by name then you need a method of name
resolution for Your Network. Either DNS or HOSTS files. On the other hand if
your network is only these two machines connect to the printer by IP address
and forget about friendly names and browsing.
 
Make sure all computers are in the same workgroup and that all useraccounts
exist on all computers. Got File- and printersharing loaded?
