I's checked all the previous threads that related to this topics, but I couldn't find any answer to satisfy me. So I'll appreciate if any one can help me.

I've one Win2k and one WinMe machine. I am using ICS to share my DSL connection on my Win2k box. I was trying to share my printer to my WinMe box but the WinMe box won't access to my Win2k box. Do I have to create a new user in my Win2k box and let the WinMe box sign in using that user account? I am really confused all the times. Thanks.

You need to have an account on the Win2k machine that is the same as the user name on the WinME machine.

Ok, now my WinMe machine can access to my Win2k machine. All shared folder show up in WinMe machine, except the shared printer. I am pretty sure that I have the setting for the printer, like sharing properties and etc. Please help further.

Try deleting the shared printer on the sharing the machine and re-install it.
