Wireless Networking - Printer Sharing

Archived from groups: microsoft.public.windows.networking.wireless (More info?)

I have recently purchased a Belkin ADSL Modem with built-in Wireless Router
so that my daughter who has a Wireless enabled laptop can access the Internet
simultaneously with me on my desktop. No problems here. However, the Router
is supposed to allow my daughter to remotely print her documents created on
her laptop using the printer connected to my desktop PC using this wireless
set-up. I have tried to create a Home Network within Widows XP software but
have come to a dead end. I cannot get any further with this. Can anyone
please advise. Thanks.

The previous post is good assuming you have already established a LAN.
Run the XP networking wizard on both machines ensuring that each machine has
a distinct and separate name but both must have the same workgroup name.
