Problems with home networkRecently installed a home network to share printers. Two computers, each
running XP, one printer attached to each. Linksys wireless router. Everything went well, except the following morning I could not attach to the other computer, the printer icon has disappeared, and I cannot add the printer back. I have tried reverting to a restore point, hoping I could redo the connection. No luck even though the computer says I belong to the workgroup, the computer names are correct. How do I uninstall this small office network and redo this from the start? Thanks -- Tom Can you ping each other? if yes, post back with the result of "net view remotepcip". Where the remotepcip is the computer with printer.

I removed TCP/IP version 6 and added QoS Packet scheduler. Both computers now see each other and both access the internet properly. Thank you!!
