Networking PC and LaptopI'd like to network my PC and a laptop so that either one can use either one
of two printers. Both computors are running XP Home and use a common ADSL connection routed through a DL-604. The printers are a HP PSC750 and a HP LaserJet 5P, both are now connected to the PC, the PSC750 via a USB connection and the 5P via the LPT1. I am a semi-retired trucker that is delving ever deeper into the nether world of computors and would appreciate a click by click lesson on how to configure both of mine. How can I do this? TIA In article <E38C4641-29D4-4554-89FB-CEB226517***@microsoft.com>,

The Wizard first determines what type of Internet connection you have. If it finds the router's shared Internet connection, tell it to use that. Otherwise, tell it that the computer connects to the Internet through a residential gateway. Then tell it to enable file and printer sharing. -- Best Wishes, Steve Winograd, MS-MVP (Windows Networking) Please post any reply as a follow-up message in the news group for everyone to see.
