Re: Please help networking printer

You'll want to create an account (in Users Accounts) on the WinXP machines
with the username and password that you use to logon to the other machine(s)
with. Then you'll need to share out the resource(s) with permissions for
those users. Also make sure they're all part of the same workgroup and on
the same subnet. Then you'll no longer be prompted for the IPC$ password
(Inter-process communication)

Also turn off the firewalls (at least till you get something going) and
enable NetBIOS over TCP/IP.

In a peer level workgroup, when you try to access resources on a Windows
NT/2000/XP/2003 machine, Windows NT/2000/XP/2003 needs to authenticate the
user. If the user account doesn't exist in it's local account database, then
access will be denied.

You might also look at using 'simple file sharing'
