Home Network to inc printer share is it poss ????


[link to this post]
 
Total newbie when it comes to setting up network.

Current set up:-

Laptop and PC connected to US robotics modem/router via WIFI, no network set up.

Wanna be able to print documents on the Printer which is connected to main PC

Can it be done, and if so how, is there a link or a very PLAIN english way to do it.

Hope someone can help or point me in the right direction.

If you are using Windows XP or another Windows version use the Internet Connection Sharing (I think that's what it's called) wizard which should set it up for you.

the OP needs the "set up a home or small office network" wizard, and to use Google for the hundreds of step by step guides out there.

They have a router already so ICS is not appropriate.
