What needed for Printer Sharing

Hi:
I performed 'Network Wizard for Home-Networking, Printer sharing
with two computers running Windows XP Home Edition.

However, I got the following 'error' message in the midst of the
completion.
------------------------------------

The wizard found disconnected network hardware.

The network connection listed below are discornnected, ....
Connection:
Local Area Connection: Realtek RTL8139/810xFamily Fast Ethernet NIC
-----------------------------------------------

Upon High-Speed connection, the techinican installed the following 'two'
items.
(1) Netgear, CG814WGCom that has several ports.

(2) Linksys, Wireless-G, USB Network Adapter (hooked-up onto the back of
each computer)
-----------------------------

My computer is HP Pavilion with 526 RAM.

What's more do I need for a Printer-Sharing?

Thanks for your help in advance.

When you run the wizard, it looks for all hardware on your computer to
configure for the network connection. There is a box you can check telling
the wizard to ignore that component (if you are ONLY going to be using
wireless, then you won't need the eithernet adaper or if you are ONLY going
to use eithernet, you don't need the wireless adapter) and it will complete
the configuration without including that adapter in the configuration.

If you do want to include that adapter, stop there, leave the wizard
running, open control panel, open network connections, right click on the
adapter the wizard identified as being disconnected, click on properties,
click on "Enable". If it is a wireless adpater, you may need to set windows
to control it by clicking on "Wireless Networks", check the box "Use Windows
to configure my wireless network".

If you have enabled or set your network up for WEP or WPA security, you will
need to enter you network key that you created.

Hi:
Thanks for the response. I truly appreciate it.

When I did Network Wizard, I checked a box of 'Ignore, ...'
but it didn't work. Not get Printer Sharing.

When I went to 'Network Connection' at Start, it says
'Local Area Connection Unplugged' under 'icon' of local Area Connection,
----------------------------------------------------
When I clicked its 'properties,'
Internet Connection Sharting:
-----------------------------------------
Allow other network users to connect through this
computer's Internet Connection. - "No check mark" in the box,
------------------------------------------------
However, there is 'Check' mark the following:
"Allow other network users to control or disable the
shared Internet Connection." This is also, 'greyed out'
-------------------------------------------------
What should I do next for Printer Sharing?

Sorry to bother, but I am very new and naive to this,
Printer Sharing. Thanks,
