Re: Printer sharing problem (windows 2000 pro)

I am not sure why you need two routers, but can you ping echo others?

Heres my setup:
Windows 2000 Pro (1 Comp on main D-Link Router)
Windows XP Home (2nd Comp on a second D-Link Router)

Both computers are running Zone Alarm and I manually added acceptable IP
ranges of 192.168.0.1 - 192.168.0.15 on both machines
Both Computers are set up to belong to WORKGROUP

I enabled the printer to be shared on the Windows 2000 Pro computer and
rebooted it.
I then set up the networking wizard on my windows xp home computer. Rebooted
it.

When I go to network places on either computer I cannot see any shares from
either one. On the windows xp home one I can only see what the windows xp
home computer was set up to share and on the windows 2000 pro I can only see
the printer I set up to share.

Any help is appreciated.
