If the printer is on the 98 machine, make sure you right click on the printer and select the sharing option. &nbsp;(Might have to look in properties for this, don't remember b/c havn't use 98 in a while)

I'm a bit confused. From a win98 computer A want to share a inkjet printer and the harddrive to a win2000 computer. I have set up the TCP/IP as a local network 192.168.0.x and it works well to ping each other. Sometimes I got acess to the files on the win98, sometimes not. I also found the printer but don't know how to configure it. It's an Epson inkjet. I have installed the proper drivers on the win2000 machine. But how do I configure the printerport?<br />
