sharing files and printers, wireless, between 7 and xp
Hello, I've got a setup that I'm wanting to share some resources pc to pc. The router is a belkin f5d7231-4, it's wireless as well as having some ethernet ports. In to this a win7 home premium box is plugged. This box has attached to it two printers, one via parralel port it is a brother laser printer, the other via usb, but has wireless capability, an epson stylus nx400 it's a printer, scanner, copier and can as I said do wireless. The two other machines are windows xp laptops one here the other roaming but comes back. What I'd like to do is share some files from the 7 box and allow the xp machines to get to them, and to share files from the xp box and allow the 7 box to get at them. For the printers I'd like to share the laser attached to the 7 box and also to get the epson off of a USB connection to the 7 box and have it go full wireless so that all three machines can get to it. I don't have a domain, and I've understood that 7 does things differently in terms of sharing, I would use a workgroup setup if these were all xp machines. Suggestions welcome. Thanks. Dave.
