Okay, 3 computers in a small office:
A:> Laptop running NT4
B:> XP Pro desktop with printer connected to it's parallel port. The printer is shared, & the "Guest" account is enabled (figuring I had to for W98 to access files/printer) with a blank password (temporary)
C:> Win98 box with printer connected to its parallel port. Printer is shared
Both computers A & B can see & print to both printers. The Win98 box can see both machines (in Network Neighborhood), but when I click the XP Pro box in Network Neighborhood, I only see the "Shared Documents" folder (containing the default "Shared Music/Pictures" folders), but I do not see the printer.
Any ideas?
