Windows XP Workgroup environment, Need Help!

[odinfire]

Greetings all,

I recently visited someone that has 2 Windows XP home machines and one Windows 98 second edition machine. I added all three machines to the same workgroup, I.E. Microsoft, and attempted to share a printer on the Windows XP home machine. For some reason no other computer can see the printer or the machine. The funny thing is I can see the other two machines shares without a problem. Can anyone suggest a reason for this discrepancy and perhaps a resolution?

Side Note: This is all on a Wi-Fi network, 802.11b.

Regards,

Odin

You need to make sure that you have user accounts setup on the XP machine hosting the printer and that the printer is shared.
