Sharing Win98 and XP printers
I am trying to add a network printer on a 98 machine.
It's installed and shared on an XP machine. Also, the Win98 drivers are installed on the XP machine. When I browse for the printer, the add wizard does not see the XP machine. I have a router installed and I'm unable to assign static IP's due to my ISP. Do I need to install the computers into a hub, then the router? |

You can use dynamic IP's as well, it doesn't matter whether they are static or not. Rgds: Mika |
