My setup is" 3 pc's in one building off a WRT54G, then a WAP54g , set as AP,hardwired to the WRT and another WAP in remote building set as repeater . I had on pc with USB adapter running for over 2 weeks,in remote building, no Problem, I could see the shared printer from my office pc in other building,.But I cannot see shared printer from second PC in remote building..



I have sharing enabled, on the PC where the printer is,, I have printer and file sharing enabled on 2nd pc..When I go to add network printer, browse for printer it see's all the printer on the network, but when I select one, comes back and says can't connect to printer..Driving me nuts.. TIA, Ted O.

Any WinDoze firewalls turned on, or any third-party software firewalls?
