I have a Vista laptop and a XP computer desktop, they are connected through ethernet cable going from Laptop > Wireless Router > XP Desktop PC
The XP computer is the main computer and the laptop just connects to it. The wireless router is a Draytek Vigor-2800VG. I can connect to to computer on the laptop but i cannot print anything it prints but nothing comes out, i can print frine from the XP computer.
Something else happened to, i deleted the printer off of the Vista laptop and tried adding it again but now it can’t find it on the network and when i can i cannot fully add it because of an error/access denied
Anything else you want to know? Please help thank you!
I have printer sharing turned on, the network is safe and protected
Thank you

Put each computer on a domain, even though they are on the same network. Also you may have file and print sharing off, or password protection on, also make sure that your laptop has not connected to your neighbors wireless(and make yours secure, so they are not on yours)
Good Luck
