I have a personal PC at home and a work laptop that I use at home (more than at work). The work laptop is assigned to a doamin(not to a workgroup). When I changed the laptop to a workgroup (trying to put both PC's in same workgroup so I can do printer sharing), I could no longer log in. After that I could also no longer access work via VPN or LAN (at work) as I had to re-add the PC to the work doamin (not authorized to do this, so desktop support at work had to do it).
Based on this I cannot use workgroups inwindows to share printers.
Curently I have a linksys router connected to a broadband connection. Both PCs have their own IP and I can ping each PC from the other PC.
I did setup the printer I wanted to share as SHARED and also enabled Microsoft Networks File/Printer Sharing.
I have browsed the WEB looking for a way to access the shared printer (printer is on USB connection to 1 PC, it does not have it's own network address).
Does anyone know how to do this or know where I can get some software that can help.
1 PC is Windows 2000 Professional (PC with USB connection to printer to be shared) the other has Windows 98.
