Title: How do I connect my Laptop (Win 7) with the computer (Win XP)
Post by: preben_stein on March 18, 2013, 10:17:29 AM

How do I connect my Laptop (Win 7) with the computer (Win XP) ?

I want to use the Printer connected to my home-computers Printer.
The home-computer is connected by wire to a wireless Router and my laptop is also connected to the same wireless Router.
I cant find the home-computer from the Laptop. All files and the printer are shared.
The home-computers card for the network is not wireless.

How do I find the printer from the laptop ?

Purchase a router, it's much easier & you don't need the computer with the printer attached to be on.  The printer attaches to the router.
