Wireless Printing

vinvon

Hi

Using Netopia Wireless router - okay, does the job, have an old lap top connected via EtherNet and main lap top connected via a WiFi card on the main laptop.

My question is how do I set up the "old lap top" as a printer server ?
Second question is it possible to share files between the two machines ?

Thanks for any ideas

Von Walk.

What Operating System is on the old laptop?

Moved to.. windows.

Both machines running Windows 2000.

btw moderator - dispute the move to the windows forum - this has relevance to all home wifi users and will get overlooked in the windows forum.

Then all you need to do is install the printer as normal on the old laptop. Then set up your network. I'm not sure of the exact steps for Win2K (never used it - could talk you through 9x or XP though) but google for Windows 2000 home network should get you some nice guides. This looks decent.

Then it should either be here, in Nets/Comms or Wireless. But, given that your question is to do with configuring Windows, and not with the hardware aspects of your network, this is probably the right place for it.
