Solve : Cannot see network printer?

Answer»

My wife's laptop used to be able to print to my directly attached printers VIA network. We're running wirelss and we both have internet access. Lately, my wife cannot print to any printers and they do not appear when she adds a new networked printer. I'm running McAfee and she has tried printing when my firewalls are turned off (both XP and McAfee). I normally run with just McAfee.
Something has changed but I'll be darned if I can figure it out. It's been several weeks now. Any IDEAS?

Thanks in advance,

ChuckHey Chuck, check the settings on your LINKSYS WRT150N router. You've got it set to allow 4 connections. Reset it to something like 32 or even 253!

Thanks, Chuck, that fixed it. (SHEESH what a dummy!)

HimselfOh that Chuck...

Alan <>< Hey Chuck, my wife's computer can't see the two printers again. They are still shared, they are still on line and my system is up. My wife can ping my computer just fine. When I try to add a network printer it shows my computer name but no printers under it. The WORK group name shows some printers under it as \\computerA\HPColorLaser and \\ComputerA\HPPhoto but when you try to connect to them it asks for a password to the guest account.

Now what?
