You often have to type the network printer location and name manually.


Example:

\\WIN-XP\Samsung ML-1710

I have two computers on my home network that I want to "see" each other: "Akoya" and "Dell." The workgroup name is MSHOME. After I run the network wizard on Akoya, I can start Windows Explorer, and under My Network Places, I can see "MSHOME" and under it, "Akoya." I DO NOT See "Dell."

After I run the wizard on Dell, and specify "Dell" and "MSHOME," I start Windows Explorer. I DO see MSHOME, but there is no "plus sign" ("+") next to it, meaning that it is non-expandable. When I click on MSHOME, the system waits a few minutes, then gives me a message, "MSHOME is not accessible. You might not have permission to use this network resource....."

In other words, the Dell computer can't even see itself... (?)
