Hey guys, a friend of mine is trying to create the possibility of a desktop PC and a laptop PC being able to share a printer that is connected to a router and the desktop PC.
The desktop PC is currently running Windows Vista and I'm suspicious that it remains the culprit. The laptop is within the same floor and running Windows XP Professional with SP2, feeding off the wireless internet signal that the Linksys WRT54G is broadcasting. Both are now set up on a network of the identical name, but the results aren't apparent.
With the exception of faulty hardware, which I don't ascertain to be the problem, because individually, neither setup appears to be faulty in my tests, what might be the conflicting issue? I don't work with Vista often, but I couldn't imagine the compatibility would be that skewed.
