Printer Sharing on Wireless Network

by kenaaa7 . Updated 18 years, 10 months ago

This is similiar as the question posted by eraser3498 on 06-06-2006, but since it is closed I had to start a new one. I read all the answers and all suggestions have been applied. Only difference is that instead of the laptop I had a second desktop with wireless adaptor. The wireless router and adaptor are both D-Link which came as a set in one box.
Interestingly, last night I faced exactly the same situation. Everything was set correctly; same workgroup name, file and printer sharing enabled, client for windows enabled, TCP/IP configured etc. The desktop computer connected to the printer could see the wireless computer but vice-versa would not work. After spending couple hours uninstalling and reinstalling network settings etc. finally I added protocol Netbios on both computers and BINGO! I am really interested to find out from more experienced persons a)if this would have any adverse effect; b)Why TCP/IP did not allow me the communication both ways.
