Rocky, just an FYI, I haven't read everything in this thread, but when you can't see a machine, it usually falls into three categories. One, security, something is blocking stuff on your network. Two, plugging the machines into a hub/switch doesn't actually network them. To 'see' each other, they have to use computer browsing, and you need to make sure you have NetBios over TCP/IP enabled. Three, computer browsing sucks, if you go with a DHCP/DNS/WINS server, you'll never have a network 'see another computer' problem again.

I have a printer connected to the desktop via parallel port. I shared out the printer but I can see it from the laptop, actually I can't see the desktop from the laptop. What am I doing wrong? Is this possible or do I have to get a wireless card for the printer. TIA Ed Edward P.
