Thanks GLC,
I disabled Norton Firewall on the Laptop and now it see's the other PC's and the Printer on the Host PC. Thats a step in the right direction, but when I try to install the Printer to my Laptop, it says it can't find the driver! Do I have to use the CD from the printer or can I share the whole Host PC "C" drive so it will find the driver? If so how do I do that? I still have a few other problems. I can see the shared files that are on the WinVista PC but when I try to open some of them it says I don't have permission? I have also disabled the McCafee Firewall on that PC so that shouldn't be it.
