For print sharing: My printer is hooked up to my WIN98 computer - I went into File/Print Sharing and checked the two boxes: I want to be able to give others access to my files. I want ot be able to allow others to print to my printer. I then restarted that computer. I turned on the XP computer and tried to install the printer. Went to "add printer" - checked "network printer" - hit Browse for a printer. In the Shared Printer box, two computers came up - one with the #1 the other Workgroup. When I hit next I get the message "you need to specify a valid network printer name". I tried typing in the name of the printer but to no avail. I'm wondering if I left out a few steps in this setup since I'm doing it on my own without any instructions - the instructions on putergeek.com are not for WIN98 so I just tried doing it my own way (probably why it's not working). Do you know if I left anything out here?
