I am trying to net work my notebook and desktop. I also
want to make my HP 6110 all-in-one a shared printer. I
am using a Belkin 4 port router. Both computers are able
to access the internet via the router but they can not
access each other's shared folders and the notebook can't
print to the HP. The network wizard can't seem to find
all the devices/drives. Here are the specs...

The Desktop is running XP Home and the HP is connected
dircetly to it via USB. The Desktop is connected via
Ethernet to the router.
The notebook is runnign XP Professional and is connected
to the router via Ethernet. The notebook has another
printer connected to it via USB which I would also like
to connect to the network if possible (its a Dell 720).

I checked the FAQs and help files on the network wizard
but I keep running into dead ends.

Any thoughts on how to proceed?

Thank you.
