Default DSL router

Hello all,

I am wondering how do I setup my pc for printer sharing. The pc is
connected to a DSL router, and the laptop connects to the DSL router
through a wireless card. Currently, the pc can print to the printer,
because there is a direct connection between the printer and the pc.
I'd like to know how do I give my laptop the capability of printing to
the printer. I am using windows98 on my pc and windows xp on my laptop.
I have been working on this for a couple of hours, and I still do not
know how the functionality is done. All I know is that a file/printer
sharing network has to be esablished by the pc which is directly
connected to the printer. If anyone can provide detailed steps on
accomplishing the task, I will be very greatful....

Run the Windows XP Network Setup Wizard on both computers. It will
make all the necessary settings on both computers and will share the
printer:

XP ICS - Starting the Network Setup Wizard

If you can't use a floppy disk and don't have a Windows XP CD-ROM,
copy the Wizard's file to a USB flash drive or CD-R on the XP laptop,
then run it on the Windows 98 PC:

C:\Windows\System32\Netsetup.exe

Tell the Wizard that the computers connect to the Internet through a
residential gateway.
