set up home network on Windows XP HomeI'm trying to network desktop & laptop computers to share printers but can't
get them to connect. I've followed all instructions but when I check connections I get message that the Home workgroup is not accessable. I turned off Windows XP firewall on both computers, both computers have Norton Internet Security so I entered IP addresses of each in Firewall as safe to receive. Both computers are connected to SpeadStream router connected to cable modem. Could the router have a firewall that's causing the problem? Any other suggestions? I've spent all day trying to resolve this. -- Thanks for the help. On Fri, 24 Nov 2006 16:33:02 -0800, Chris <Ch***@discussions.microsoft.com>
