Situation:
I have a network of 15 computers and with 2 printers connected by a peer-to-peer network. I want to be able to share at least one of those printers (which happens to be connected to one of the 15 puters by USB) with any that has a wireless connection. I connected an wireless adapter to said computer. I set it to only connect to ad-hoc connections and gave it the same IP it has on the wired network. It will not allow me to share, but I was able to print from it with 2 different laptops with wireless cards once each. Now when they try to print they get a message that they do not have access to the netwok though the ad-hoc is shown as being used in their wireless network lists.
Any ideas on why this is or how to properly set up my ad-hoc network?
Thanks
