Hi All,
I used to manage to make this work, but with my 2 week old laptop I won't
manage for some reason.
This is the situation:
- We have a Canon S600 hooked up directly to a Desktop with Windows 98SE
- My laptop and this desktop are connected via a router to a Cable modem
- My laptop is containing the program/data needed for the router.
When I setup my laptop last week (Windows XP Home edition SP2), I selected
following option:
This computer connects to the Internet through a residential gateway or
through another computer on my network.
And my internet access and email works perfectly, so I was very happy.
Now I downloaded the driver for the Canon S600, since it did not show in the
list and then tried to set it up.
Normally I could see the other computer if online from my Laptop, but right
I am not able to and if I type the address it used on my old laptop for the
printer.
It tells me it is invalid.
If I let the wizard select a printer, then it shows me something like
"Microsoft Windows Networking" and I can't go further here...
Now if I check my networking in windows explorer and expand this network it
shows @home alright, but that is where it stops, since I have no permission
to go further, even if I am the administrator. Now for the few times I need
to printer I can live with taking the information to the other computer and
print it from there directly, but I just want to know what I have missed in
my process.. Maybe it is just because of the 2 different windows
versions??
Any advice/hints are highly appreciated!!
Thanks,
Ellen
