I have 3 computers in a small office that I am attempting to finish
networking together. All three are connected to a small hub that allows them
to access the same DSL connection. I have assigned each computer a static IP
address, and also assigned each computer to the same workgroup. Here is
where I get hung up. Each computer has a user account for the other two
users. I did not set up the users, so am I to assume that each computer can
see the other two, and therefore created a user account. If you look at each
of the user accounts at the login screen, it shows the correct information as
far as how many programs are running, unopened emails, etc. Looks to me that
they can communicate with each other. However, I have a local printer that
is hooked to machine 2, machine 1 needs to access it. I have enabled
sharing, and assigned a name, but when you try to install it as a network
printer, you cannot see any of the computers on the network. Nor can you
see the workgroup in Network Neighborhood. Thanks in advance for any help, I
am getting very frustrated!
