I am trying to access a printer attached to a Win2K PC from my 98SE PC. Both PC's are attached to a D-Link router/hub - a Workgroup network. Both PC's can see each other in Network Neighborhood - at least the 98SE PC can see the share folders that I setup on the 2K PC, and of course the 2K PC can see the entire drive structure of the 98SE PC. I have setup the 2K printer as a share, but cannot see it in either the Network Neighborhood of the 98SE PC, or when trying to install it using the printer setup wizard. I have assigned rights to Authenticated Users to no avail. What simple (?) step am I missing?

Thanks, Scott

Got it. I used UNC even though I couldn't see it, and the setup when fine.

Thanks for listening. :)
