Hi, I've recently set up a small home wireless network using a Belkin Wireless Modem/Router F5D7632.

I can connect to the internet using the wireless connection fine without problems.

I've gone through the setting up process for the network and sharing the printer many times & yet I still cannot print from any computer that is not directly connected to the printer via USB.

I read the excellent article by Stuartbe File and printer sharing made easy & I have successfully pinged on all computers.

Other things like All computers have the same network name, different individual names etc. seem to be correct.

The problem seems to me to be when I try to double click on the icon (that refers to the computer connected directly by USB) from say my laptop from "the show workgroup computers" I get this message "\\Pri (the computer name) is not accessible. You might not have permission to use this network resource. Contact the network administrator of this server to find out if you have access permissions"
The network path is not found.

I've consulted friends who have successfully set up their networks but nobody seems to be able to help.

All personall Firewalls are switched off.

Thanks in advance for any advice.
