When networking two computers peer to peer, what’s the next step after creating the network disk?

I have to insrt the network disk, when prompted to do so and then what?

Answer by Big John
Well you are making a network… not a peer to peer… and the next step is to put both computers on the same network name… that way they can find eachother easier… trust me its the easiest. You will have enough trouble just getting them to see eachother all the time.

How do I connect two computers in a wireless network?

I have a wireless router that is already set up on one computer, and I have a wireless network access card. How do I put another computer in the network?

Answer by mujahid786
I assume you are running win2k/xp.
First can you see the other computers on your network?
If Yes, skip the next step.
If No, ensure that all are in the same work group or domain, Right click My Computer, Network Identification, the Work group should be the same on all computers, click Properties and update as required.
You’ll need to Restart you computer if changes were required.
Turn off windows and other software firewalls, for now and when you turn them back on some configuration may be required.
You should now be seeing the other computers on your network.
You may need to Login to the other computers, depending on you settings for that computer.

To share folders right click on the folder you want to share and enable file sharing. When successful you should a hand under the folder.

GOODLUCK

How do I network multiple computers to a printer?

I need to network 12 computers to one printer. They run on Windows XP. I haven’t networked a printer before so I don’t know what all details to give. If anyone can give me a clue as to what to do I would appriciate it.

Answer by computer_surplus2005
1st thing you need to do is right click the my computer icon and go to properties and then computer name and make sure all of the computers are on the same network name. You can change this to anyname you wish. Then the printer (with drivers and all) must be installed on 1 computer. If the 12 computers are on a network already then it is very simple you have to go to start /settings/printers and then select install printer and choose the network printer to install. If they are not already networked together then you will need a router to connect the computers together. You will also need a network hub if you wish to network more that 12 computers together. It pretty straight forward to do you can find you more @ http://www.ehow.com/how_108552_network-computers.html…Thanks

Do computers in a network need same service pack to share printer?

I have a Canon MP830 and recently reformatted and now can’t get my network printer to share properly. I have SP3 on the main computer hooked up to the printer and the laptop trying to access it is service pack 2. Do I need to have Service Pack 3 on both computers?

Answer by Tracy L
Check the FIREWALL on the “reformatted” machine. That will keep File and printer sharing from working. If you can share files, then you can share the printer.

The service packs won’t normally have any bad effect so no they do not need to be the same.

You do need the printer drivers on both machines. But you should be able to find and see the printer in the Network first.

How do I send messages between computers over a PC to PC network?

I want to link up two computers, via a wireless PC to PC network (we already know how to get it that far), but I do not know how to send messages, like using some variation of an IM. How do I do that?

Why can my other computers not see my Laptop on my Network?

I have 3 computers currently running on a home network. All 3 systems are connected via a router, and are receiving IP addresses properly through the DCHP. This gets really complicated here. The main system is runnig two NIC cards, so two IP addresses. From the main PC I cannot Ping either the Laptop, or the second system. From the Laptop, I can ping both IP addresses on the main, however I cannot connect to the workgroup. From the laptop I cannot Ping secondary computer. From the secondary computer I can ping both IP address on the main, and the main system is visible on the network. From the secondary computer I cannot ping the laptop.

Confusing I know. Bascially only the secodnary computer recognizes any other system on the network. All systems have the 3 basic components installed, All 3 are in the same workgroup, and all 3 have File sharing enabled.

Any idea, because I am going crazy.
