I am trying to set up a home network using Vista on one computer and XP on
the other. I am connected wireless on both computers. I have tried to
follow the wizard, but nothing seems to happen. Can anyone help

Thanks, have set up the networking between computers, but still unable to get
each printer to work, only the Vista which is connected to the printer

Thanks, network ok now, but still unable to get the printer to work using the
XP machine. The printer is connected via USB to the vista machine.
