My Acer Netbook running XP can't see my W7 laptop that has my printers
attached. All the other W7 computers in the house can see that W7 laptop
and use it's printers. What's wrong? TIA, Paul

Networking among Win 7 computers is much easier than communicating with
XP machines.
I had to install my HP printer drivers on my wife's Vista laptop in
order for her to see my printer on my XP laptop.

Neither laptop can see the other. They are both part of the "@HOME" work
group.

Can you ping the computers? If not then you have some firewall or security
software blocking them.

How do I Ping them?
BTW, The XP is basic, the W7 is Home Premium.
