Cannot share printer using WRT120N
For the customer's network, they have a desktop running under WindowsXP system wired into a WRT120N router, with Windows Firewall disabled on this computer. The printer connected via USB has sharing enabled, but not from other computers on the network (all connected wireless, internet access works well) can even see each other, much less the printer is shared by the main Office XP. Network Magic is installed on the main desktop computer, but I do not use it to do anything. Should I uninstall it?
Other computers on the network include:
Two new laptops running Windows 7
An old laptop running Windows XP
An old desktop running Windows XP
Yes, the firewall is already turned off. For some reason, it did not work using the default workgroup name, so I changed them all to a new. It works fine, now.

Hi PhilMartineau,
1. you receive an error message/code?
2. are you on a domain computer/House Group?
Printers that are directly connected to a network and not connected to a computer are available to anyone on the same network. These printers must have a network port or wireless connection that allows them to connect directly to the network.

Cannot install printer using Add Printer
Cannot use add printer to install the printer. I have the windows disc and reach a point which requires a disc HP. How to find who have no idea. And the installation process stops.
Unfortunately, if the printer is out of warranty there is no way to get free phone support, you can choose the charged incident. If you have a few options, take a look below:
1. try to install the printer on another computer running XP.
2. try to set up a secondary connection (Ethernet) option see here: installation of the software product in Windows XP to a network connection wired (Ethernet)
If you try them without success, then I suggest contacting phone support.
Thank you

Cannot share printer or files of Office XP Professional.
I can see other computers on our home network from the Office XP Professional, but if I am on any computer I don't see XP Professional PC. A problem I have a shared printer on the computer and no other machines can add it. Initially, I had the printer on another XP PC at home but changed to XP Professional.
This problem was driving me pot for weeks after I added a new (used) XP Pro PC to my network.
Finally found my solution on Daniweb
Run regedit.
Go to my Computer\HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\Lsa
Find name restrictanonymous and if the DWORD value is 1, change it to 0.
As I said it worked for me, but your mileage may vary.

cannot share files from my Vista computer
I have a home network with 4 PC on it. My main PC is a Vista desktop computer, it is connected to my router. The other PC is connected wirelessly. I have a laptop with windows 7. and 2 other desktops with xp installed. My problem is the following... I have no problem to share files and folders off my public folder on my Vista machine with the rest of the network, but for some reason, I can't share files or folders on my home network on any other place on the Vista PC. I have an extra hard drive 500 gig installed on my Vista PC I want to use it as a central backup for all of my network drive... but for some reason that I cannot share any files or folders on this drive. I have no problem sharing the drive with other users on this pc... but I can't do it shared on the network. I tried all the conventional techniques of sharing, but no luck. I just get a message that the network resource is not available. It appears on my network under the PC, but it is not accessible. Initially, I wanted to share the entire disc... but advised him to be just a folder in the drive to share rather than trying to share the root of the drive... but still no luck. What Miss me?
Note: this is a problem with all of my machines in network... not a single one of them can access this drive.
Hi EJLOTT,
First of all, I would say that you talk below link and make sure all the necessary settings on the network for all the computer are set correctly.

I try to connect my Acer Vista laptop for HP Officejet 7310 printer using a wireless connection. The printer is connected to a Dell XPS running Windows 7. Is there a way to do this?
Hello
Printers use a built-in wireless card and plug it into a power source, not your network or computer. After turning on the printer, you must refer to the documentation that came with the printer to set up a wireless connection for each computer.
I suggest you to download and install drivers from the link below
