File and Printer Sharing
File and Printer Sharing
In Windows XP, File and Printer sharing service is enabled by
default. That means once your computers have their wireless network adapters
properly installed, you should be able to share files and printers.
You can check to make sure that File and Printer sharing is
enabled by following these steps:
-
From the Start menu, right-click My Network Places and choose
Properties.
-
Right-click the name of your wireless network adapter, and
choose Properties (Figure 8.8).
-
You see File and Printer Sharing for Microsoft Networks (Figure 8.9).
-
If the box next to File and Printer Sharing (Figure 8.9) is unchecked, make sure to check it. Then
click the OK button to close the open dialog box.
TIP:
My Network Places works like a folder on your system that shows
you your network resources. You can view which computers and printers are
shared, and you can see and edit the properties of your wireless network
adapter.
Now that you're set with File and Printer Sharing, let's
consider sharing your Internet connection in Windows XP.  |
