I am trying to share a printer between two computers that
are connected by a router. I have enabled the sharing
for the printer on the main computer with WinXP. Then I
created the Network Setup Disk to install on my computer
running Win2000. I get an error message stating that the
wizard does not support Win2000, and that I can find the
instructions for configuring a network for other
operating systems in the help files.

Do you know where those files are located?
Do you know how to configure Win2000 to network with
WinXP?

Thanks!

The Network Setup Wizard often creates more problems than it solves,
particularly on existing networks.

See http://www.practicallynetworked.com/sharing/xp/addxp.htm for some ideas
on how to proceed.

It is perfectly useless to know the right answer to the wrong question.
