Network windows 7 and XP
Hi everyone. hope life is good for you. My question today is...
"I would like to set up my desktop machine which is windows 7, and my laptop which is XP to work on a network style system".
The main thing I want to do is be able to use the printer from the laptop. The printer is connected to the desktop via a cable.
I already have a wireless router that both computers work from at the same time. I have not set up either computer to have an individual address, only what the router gives them when starting up. (hope that makes sense).
I am not a novice but do get a bit confused when there is a lot of things to do. So if anyone can maybe give me some directions I would be gratefull.
