I have just setup a notebook on a wireless netgear router. There is also a
desktop attached to the router but it is wired in, I cannot access the
Desktop from the laptop to setup the printer that is attached to it. printer
and document sharing is enabled on both computers and the printer is shared
on the desktop. The desktop can see both computers on its workgroup, but the
laptop can only see the laptop. Thanks for the help.

Just for grins, trying running the Network Wizard again (if you haven't
already done so), that may help. I ran into a similar problem last week,
tried rejoing a workgroup and still nada, did the wizard and it worked!

I didn''''t'''' do it, you can''''t prove a thing, and besides no one saw a
thing.

Hi
Successful Sharing involves some general consideration in Network
settings,[url]http://www.ezlan.net/sharing.html[/url] As well as specific adjustment of
each computer according to what it is allowed to be shared.
