Hello,

Got 2 PCs, one desktop wired to a Linksys router, one laptop; both can see the internet OK. Desktop is XP Pro, laptop is XP Home.
I would like share the printer connected to the desktop PC with the laptop. Both are in the same workgroup. Enabled file and print sharing on the desktop PC and shared the printer. It (desktop PC) can see the laptop, but laptop can't see the desktop PC nor its printer.
Bummed that I can't figure it out myself. (Ran the wizards "...to set up a Home Network," etc., but still no dice). Any suggestions are VERY MUCH appreciated.

Thank you.
