Workgroup Configuiration

How to setup home or peer-to-peer network

If all of the computers in a peer-to-peer workgroup don't have a common
networking protocol, a common workgroup, and common user names and
passwords, the computers may experience a difficulty to communicate with
other computers that are running Windows 2000, Microsoft Windows 95, or
Microsoft Windows 98. To resolve this issue, configure the computers by
ensuring that they have a common networking protocol (TCP/IP), a common
workgroup, and common user names and passwords. Also make sure enable File
and Printer Sharing is installed.

I have 4 PCs, one printer, one Internet router and a broadband modem to
ISP. I have connected the 4 PCs to the router and the router to the
broadband modem. A printer is connecting to one of the PC as a local
printer. I have defined the printer as a share printer.

Now I would like to use the 4 PCs to form a workgroup network so that
other PC s can use the printer. Appreciate some idea of how to config
this simple network.

Thanks. I have read the tech info of your web site. I can find the NetBois over TCP/IP on those PCs with LAN connection to broadband router. But I cannot find the same on my laptop (notebooks) because it is wireless. And also what is Computer Browser?
Please advise.

1. laptop: which os on laptop?
2. computer browser: go to computer managementmanageservices.
