Hi all,
The last time I did this it was on 2 Win 98 SE boxes. This time I'm trying to share my printer which is connected to my XP box with my Win 2000 laptop. I have set all the protocols etc. that I can think of but my laptop can't see the printer.
On the Win 2000 laptop I have File and Print Sharing enabled, Microsoft Client for Networks, and NetBeui.
I have run the XP network wizard on my XP box and enabled the printer to be shared.
Am I missing anything?
Btw I am running Zone Alarm on both boxes and have the built-in firewall in XP enabled.
Tia for any help.
Gary
