MSN me up later dude and ill explain it :P

Eh?

You mean create the same VPN on both linked to the IP addy of the router?

do the network setup wizard on both the desktop and the laptop, give them the same network name (Home or sumit)

Only obvious network connection wizard available on laptop would be a VPN :S

i had a fiddle last night on the laptop and couldnt do it so a detailed step by step plan would be delightful :)

I connect to the internet (and my work vpn) on my work laptop (2000 Prof SP4) thru the wireless router attached to my home desktop and need to print to the printer locally connected to my desktop pc (XP Home SP2)

I don't have a desktop, just a wireless router.

Or possible you could buy a bluetooth that plugs into your printer then send stuff from your phone which you can get from Argos either 10m or 100m

yeah i have a draytek router that you can do this too. Your have to change some settings ie, your need to add a new printer then create a tcp/ip port, give the ip address of 192.168.1.1, (this may differ for a another router depending on what local addresses your using.)

wen setup its ace

ah ok, so I could just connect any old printer to my router and that would work.

Cheers mate :thumbs:

yes, wireless usb adapters or some wireless routers come with a usb port so you can plug a printer into it

on a related subject, can you buy wireless printers?

coolio (y)

Make sure file & printer sharing is on.

Then simply click on network places, find your machine with the printer on, click on it and add the printer.

How does thid work? Ive got a printer cabled to my computer upstairs... how do i get my works laptop (on a wireless network with my PC) to be able to print to that printer?
