problems setting up network

I am trying to print from a Mac iBook G4 (running OS X Tiger) to a printer attached to a Windows XP PC. I've been using this guide in an attempt to do so.

I followed all the instructions but ran into a problem during the part where I was supposed to select my Windows Workgroup on the iBook. It just doesn't appear on my iBook and I'm not sure if that's because I didn't set it up properly on my Windows PC or if it's an iBook issue. I set up the network using the Network Setup Wizard and it said it completed successfully. I have sharing set up on the printer. FWIW, I have a wireless router set up on my PC and I am able to connect to the web on on my iBook, but I don't know if that has anything to do with anything.

Any ideas? I'm stumped. Thanks in advance for any help you can provide.
 
Do you have the firewall turned on on your Windows XP computer? If so, try turning it off to see if the iBook picks it up.
