Sharing a Printer



We're currently on vacation with two laptop computers (one new), a printer, and a Dlink DWL-730AP travel router. Before I did deeper into my question, I have a fundamental question about XP SP3. All of my computers (except my work computer, which probably has group policies set) will respond to its own IP address by typing Start | Run "\\192.168.0.101" to show the network shares. The new computer has the printer attached, and it will not respond to the command. I'm thinking that if I can fix that problem, the sharing problem will be easy to fix.

I've been sharing printers for years and years, but I seem to have lost my touch. For the record, both XP firewalls are turned off. Also, Client for Microsoft Networks and File and Printer Sharing are installed and active. The router has a firewall, but it is set to allow all LAN traffic.

The problem seems as if some Service is not enabled, but I don't know what it would be. The new laptop works perfectly at home, but I have never tried to access a shared folder or printer on it before now.
