From: Kimten on 17 Sep 2008 04:38 i have 4 windows xp computers and 1 hp laserjet 4000 series printer. the network was working fine before but the printer lost the network and i was not able to connect. now i have connected the parallel cable to pc 1 and shared the printer, pc 2 can print to the shared printer but pc3 and pc4 cannot find the printer. i have tried to use the network wizard but no success. in the workgroups pc1 and pc2 can view each other, pc 3 and pc4 can also view one another, but i'm not able to view all pc's.I also disabled my windows and antivirus firewalls. all pcs are connected to netgear router and to the internet. please assist on how to share or how to get my network working.
