My DELL P4 Desktop running XP Home (SP2) is connected to a DSL modem and the Wireless D-Link DIR-625 RangeBooster Router (N) thru the 3 Com Etherlink XL 10/100 PCI card inside the Desktop. In another room I have an Acer Dual Core Laptop running Vista Home Premium with build-in Wireless. My Printer / Scanner is connected on the DELL and Files / Printer sharing is turned on. On the DELL Network Connection window I have an Internet Gateway Wireless connection plus a LAN or High Speed Internet connection. On Laptop Network Connection window I can see the DELL Desktop and the D-Link Router. On both machines the Internet works fine. On the Laptop I can access the DELL drives but not the printer and that is my 1st problem. I have not been able to access the Laptop from DELL and this is my 2nd problem. Any help? Thank you.

For you 1st problem, I believe you didn't make your printer to share. I can't remember the exact steps. Goto control panel/printer setup, right click on the printer you want to share. Follow the on screen instruction to share the printer. For your 2nd problem, I believe you want to use remote desktop if you want to use the applications on the other computer. If you just want to view the folders/files on the other computer, just right click on it and then follow the on screen instruction. Hi, everyone ^_^

make sure your PC are on the same workgroup. try this for your laptop with windows vista... http://www.microsoft.com/technet/ne...

You can download the Link Layer Topology Discovery Responder from the Microsoft website here to install on Windows XP PCs." taken from here: http://www.winplanet.com/article/35... link is here http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/...

I found the problem. My XP had no networking components installed. I went to the control panel, Add/remove programs, Change or remove programs and installed the XP networking programs. Now all is fine. Thank you
