i have two PCs both running Windows XP Home Edition one is a desktop and the other is a laptop they are both connected to a LInkSys Wireless Router that is set up great and both are connected to the Internet, I ran the set up home or small office network wizard and that worked too ( i went to command prompt and typed
net view and both computer names came up on the same workgroup) ................... i have the hp deskjet 3650 connected to the desktop thru usb and i shared that printer........... when i try to install a printer my laptop i run the wizard and select that the printer is connected to another printer ...... on the next screen i select connect to this printer and type in the printer name which is \\COMP1\HPshare and it keeps telling me that it cannot find it or it may be spelled incorrectly (HPshare is the share name of the one printer installed on the desktop)
