[dba-Tech] Sharing a printer on a Wireless Network

Bobby:

I have four machines on a router of various OSs - W2K, WXP, WXP Pro.  Router
supports wireless and I have a fifth machine on wireless.  Some machines can
see other machines - some not.  Printer sharing is a problem because of
this.  I'd like them all to see each other and have made passes at this from
time to time.  And given up from time to time.  All the systems C drives are
set to shareable as well as the printers.

Maybe it's the router?  Any leads on how you set up the router to let all
the machines see each other?  What to look for?  I have the ever-popular
Linksys BEFW 1154 (802.11b)

TIA
