missing tcp/ip printer port

[Harry]

Hi all,

I have three computers connected to an router,
1x Win XP Home, 1x Win XP Prof, 1x Win 2000.
A printer is connected to the router,
at the XP Home computer the TCP/IP printer port
has disappeared and I'm not able to reconfigure it.
If I select the option to add a new port it just gives
the option for a local port - anybody out there
who can lead me to the right way ?

Did you try resetting the router?

Hi, it is not caused by the router, since the other two are working fine, but the Win XP Home version
did not even present the option for a tcp/ip network port.
