I have been trying to setup a network to my fathers pc so i can use his badass printer but cant work out how to connect.

I have setup networks before and normaly get thru it easily<edit, but for some reason, when i try to connect either through the router or through the adress bar. It doesnt connect :mad:

Thing is i can connect to my pc from my dads :confused:

i have changed the network name to the same on both pc's
tried disabling firewalls
tried changing aload of the router settings.

anyone have any suggestions? thanx

no i cant access his pc at all, but can access mine from his.

Its shared off his machine meaning the printer doesnt have its own ip

I have enabled share printer on his machine, and also changed the workgroup name to the same as mine

and i couldnt enable simple file sharing as it wasnt an option, I think its windows xp home

hmmm
 
yeah i did, on both systems

i cant get on his system at the mo cos he is using it. but sure it will ping my system as i can access my files from it.
