Hey guys. I have a question. I was wondering if it is possible for me to print stuff from my computer, to the printer at my dad's computer. My computer is rigged with a Wireless antenna, going to our LinkSys WAP11 Access Point. This is then connected to our LinkSys WRT54G radio. From the radio the access point and my dad's computer are hooked up. So I was wondering how I could print from my computer, onto my dad's printer. Do I need a cable going into the back of the printer? Do i need to set up a network in our house?

Thanks for the help,
Derek
 
Well if you have a wirless connection you already have a netowrk of a sort. Go to your dads computer and go to the printer icon.. right click on it and enable sharing. Then go to your computer and go to network neighborhood... find your dads computer and open it. There will be a printer double click and install it. Then when you print select the correct printer. If you dont see your dads computer, go to entire network, and then microsoft networks, and then look under and workgroups that show up. he will be in there. If he is not type in //computername For example if your computer is named b182tm then type in //182tm from your dads computer to view your shared files. :)
