Network Share Printer

How do I setup Networking? I already have a Belkin Router and it is setup
and running. I want to connect 1 printer to two computers. Any help?

Is the printer a network capable printer and are both computers running
WinME as you have posted to a newsgroup for computers running WinME ?
Come back with more details and we'll see what we can do to help.

The easiest way to set up a network is to use a third party utility such as
NETWORK MAGIC . It guides you through the setup of the network and sharing
files and printer. You may download the free shareware version at
http://www.networkmagic.com/.

If you want to purchase it, I believe a home version is available for
$25-$30, however I have seen it made available elsewhere for $12-$15.

Lady20,
in addition to the suggestions already made, here is a simple solution:
Use a switch between the printer and the two computers.
I have used it for quite some time in the past and it worked just fine.
Don't know if there is a way to use the printer for both pc's at the same
time.

A-B mechanical is correct, hence my closing remark.
But then, it's only a suggestion. H.

Would that be an A-B mechanical switch, or an Ethernet switch?

Mechanical switch only works with one computer at a time. Suggest
springing
for a more expensive model with "break-befor-make" contacts.
