Alright, I have tried everything I can think of. Of course, my FIRST course of action was to use the SEARCH function here, and to Google about 50 different ways of saying I cannot share a printer over a wireless connection.
Setup: living room desktop hard-wired into LINKSYS WRT-54G. Bedroom (fiance') desktop with Linksys WMP-54G PCI wireless card. The network has worked flawlessly as far as Internet connectivity. Took all precautions on setting up the wireless router, and I'm using WPA encryption, and allowing only two connections to the network, placing my IP and the other computer's IP in the router's settings....
I ran, and ran, and re-ran the Window Xp Home network setup wizard, but I can't get these computers to talk. The printer in question is an HP Photosmart 1115. For a while, I couldn't even change its properties to "shared", but then realized that when I set this computer up long ago, it was not going to be a part of a network..... so I had to go into Services and start up "Server", because it was disabled.
Anyhow, can anyone help me turn on the lighbulb over my head and end this frustration for me??????
Thanks in advance
