ARe you running the setup wizard on computer 2 first, and then on computer 1? I hope so, because 1 can't see it until 2 allows it to be shared.

Also, can 2 and 1 see each other? IOW, are you using DHCP internally so they're on the same subnet and everything? If they're in different subnets, they won't see each other easily.

FWIW, if you're planning on sharing this with more than two PCs, I'd go for a wireless printer port plugged into the back of the printer. It's far, far easier... trust me [img]smile.gif[/img] My "old" printer has a netgear print server plugged into the back, and my "new" printer has a network connection built-in.
