Trouble sharing printer & networking some games

Hi,

I have three computers, 1 old machine running XPSP3, 1 New machine running Vista Unltimate and One Notebook running vista ultimate (Wireless Connection).

Prob 1. I have a shared printer connected to the XP desktop and can access it from the Vista notebook but not from the Vista Desktop.

Prob 2. I can not get Call of Duty WaW to connect by LAN With the Vista Desktop and it does not attract other players when hosting a public game. When using the Vista notebook I can play LAN with the XP Desktop and the Vista Notebook.

The problem seems to be with the Vista Desktop, something i can't see. The Xp Desktop and Vista Desktop are connected through a Belkin Wireless G Router ver 6002.

File Sharing and network discovery are turned on, on both vista machines.
The call of duty games are all patched to the same and latest version.

Thanks for your time and help

Have you checked the firewall to make sure it is allowed through that ?

Does the security match up on all machines connecting to the router ?

Sorry I can't be more help, I'm just trying to throw out ideas that may help jog your memory with regards something you may have missed.

I'm not sure but both the desktop and the notebook have fresh installations of vista and the only thing I have changed (that I know of ) is turning on File Sharing and

Hi just thought i'd let you know that you may have forgotten to install the driver for sharing the printer on the vista computer.

When i tried to print off something on this computer the other day, it would not work until I had installed the Driver onto this computer so then the 'printer' on the other computer could become the 'default' printer.

As for gaming this might help:~

If not i haven't got a clue sorry...:)
