I have 2 machines which running Win2k and WinMe, and I share my DSL connection to that WinMe machine. One thing I can't figure out was I couldn't share my printer which is attached to my Win2k machine. Before this I can share my printer between 2 Win98 machine and had no problems. Is there any hints that I still don't know?
 
I just read a thread said that I should disable BlackICE in my Win2k box. Is that necessary? because I am pretty scare for those 'hackers'.
 
Don't disable your black ice. You have to enter the ip addy's from your network into it as trusted, then you'll be fine. As for your printer, log onto your win2k machine as administrator, right click on your printer and share it, give it a name, browse across the network from your other machine, and set it up as your printer. That's all it takes, unless you want to get into specific permissions etc.
