| | Network Printer problem I am the last member of my family to get my own new laptop, the other 3 laptops and my son's girlfriend's laptop sees the shared printer on the main PC connected by a CAT5e cable to the Netgear Wireless hub. I however, can not see anything! I have tried renaming the network on my laptop (which sees the internet but not the printer), I was wondering if it was the Firewall on the main Computer (Microsoft) and the one on my laptop (Symantec), so I disabled the Symantec firewall and it made no difference! If anyone has any suggestions or ideas... -- Simon Thomson |
