This computer the P4 has a Lexmark all in one connected thru USB 2.0 port. I got my other computer running Windows 98 SE. If im on that computer how do i print to the printer connected to the Gateway? Also one more question. Not sure if its really a Network question or not. Is there a program that lets you view someone ip on a instant messenger? the reason i ask is because i think someone on my Yahoo is booting me and i want to get there IP to report them. I talked to my isp and they said i need there ip address and they will take care of them.

Thanks

I am assuming the "gateway" is the P4 you refer to.

Standard setup. Share the printer on the P4/gateway pc. Have 98 connect to the share for printing.

I got shareing setup for files and printer. On the P4. When i type a document i can click the file and the print is greyed out. Do i need to install the Lexmark on the 98 Computer also?

Yes.

You also want to share the printer itself on whatever PC you have it installed on first.
