Following your advise I installed a linksys wireless access router to connect my XP Dell laptop to my cable internet via the above computer. It works great, but I would like to share my desktop printer with the laptop ie. send print for the laptop over the network. I enabled printer sharing on the desktop win98, but I am confused as to how to direct the XP laptop print over the wireless connection. Jim

Under windows 98 make sure the workgroup is the same thing with the desktop computer.
