Can't connect to XP Home shared printer from XP Pro
Hello experts,
I have a shared printer on an XP Home Eddition. I can't see that printer on my XP Proffesional. All two computers are connected in the same network (LAN) . The IP for XP PRO is 192.168.1.100, and for the XP HOME is 192.168.1.101. I tryed to ping the XP HOME, and it answered OK. What should i do to use the shared printer?

Start>run>\\192.168.1.101 , Enter....

Start>run>cmd>ping 192.168.1.101 works fine.
