Hello All
I had a PC on LAN (peer to peer) at home running W2k, no problems. Using
internet connection sharing, no problem, sharing out a printer with a HP
JetDirect server, no problem. A laptop also running W2k and a PC running XP
used the internet connection and printer, No Problem!
Then I decided to upgrade the main PC to XP Pro, Since then, internet
connection sharing is OK, but no printing, unless you're logged on the other
PC or laptop as administrator, even if you have admin rights as a user. Its
as though XP has changed the user account names that used to exist on the
main PC.
I thought it may be to do with the firewall, but I can't find where to
configure the firewall, its either on or off.
I would be grateful for any help, as I'm struggling.
Regards
Steve
