can connect to internet but not shared printeron a three-computer home network. Computers A and B are both Windows xp, I think, but C is Windows 98 or so. I'm not really the one running the network, but the administrator can't figure out this particular problem below anymore than I can: Computer B is my personal computer, and I would like to be able to use Computer A's shared printer to print a file. I connect through Computer A to the internet just fine, but cannot read any shared files and cannot access the shared printer. I've tried redoing network setup several times on both computers (making sure that file/printer sharing is selected), have enabled Netbios over ICP (as one help file suggested), have checked the printer settings... but I can't get them to connect. When I search for a printer from Computer B, I get only "Microsoft Network". If I type in a name directly, it doesn't recognize it. I cannot access My Network Places/Entire Network/Microsoft Windows Network/(workgroup name) from Computer B. When I try from Computer A, I can open the workgroup but cannot open Computer B's icon. When I return to the Microsoft Windows Network folder (still on computer A, I hope this is making sense), I get two icons, one with (workgroup name), and the other actually named "Workgroup," which I cannot open. I fear that I've created two groups somehow, and I don't know how to undo it. Terribly sorry to bother you, but any help files or advice you could recommend would be greatly appreciated!! Okay, I'm posting diagnostics that Chuck suggested to another user in an
earlier thread... hopefully it will help? Both Computer A and Computer B are: Windows XP professional, version 2002, service pack 2 Windows IP Configuration, computer A Host Name . . . . . . . . . . . . : TOSHIBA35 Primary Dns Suffix . . . . . . . : Node Type . . . . . . . . . . . . : Hybrid IP Routing Enabled. . . . . . . . : No WINS Proxy Enabled. . . . . . . . : No DNS Suffix Search List. . . . . . : columbus.rr.com Ethernet adapter Local Area Connection: Connection-specific DNS Suffix . : columbus.rr.com Description . . . . . . . . . . . : Realtek RTL8139/810x Family Fast Ethernet NIC Physical Address. . . . . . . . . : 00-02-3F-DB-DD-60 Dhcp Enabled. . . . . . . . . . . : Yes Autoconfiguration Enabled . . . . : Yes IP Address. . . . . . . . . . . . : 192.168.1.100 Subnet Mask . . . . . . . . . . . : 255.255.255.0 Default Gateway . . . . . . . . . : 192.168.1.1 DHCP Server . . . . . . . . . . . : 192.168.1.1 DNS Servers . . . . . . . . . . . : 65.24.7.3 65.24.7.6 Lease Obtained. . . . . . . . . . : Tuesday, January 02, 2007 11:28:33 PM Lease Expires . . . . . . . . . . : Monday, January 08, 2007 11:28:33 PM Ethernet adapter Wireless Network Connection: Media State . . . . . . . . . . . : Media disconnected Description . . . . . . . . . . . : Atheros AR5004G Wireless Network Adapter Physical Address. . . . . . . . . : 00-11-F5-15-25-B8 Net config, computer A Server Name \\TOSHIBA35 Server Comment Toshiba 35 S629 Software version Windows 2002 Server is active on NetbiosSmb (000000000000) NetBT_Tcpip_{A88F352F-CBA2-4C8B-ADDC-1C2E18CF3B19} (929e165f6610) NetBT_Tcpip_{1042C7B5-AB9A-42C1-875B-62B42C179946} (00023fdbdd60) Server hidden No Maximum Logged On Users 10 Maximum open files per session 16384 Idle session time (min) 15 The command completed successfully.

Master browser name is held by: TVOYA Master browser is running build 2600 I've been working on it for the past few nights and still can't connect. It
seems: -My computer can't ping computer A -Computer A can't ping my computer -My computer can't find anything under the command "net view" -My computer can connect to the internet, but I think that connection is through a router, not directly through Computer A, as I first thought. -I've run network setup and it runs fine on both computers. -Sometimes Computer A lists my computer under the network and sometimes it doesn't. Does that make sense?? P.S. I ran the diagnostics on http://winhlp.com/wxnet.htm. Checked winsock, the firewall, went through the 'workgroup is not accessible' section in great detail... not sure what to do next! Thanks for your time! On Thu, 4 Jan 2007 08:17:00 -0800, svetaohio
