Trying to setup a LAN with 2 PC and an iBook so that I can share printer.
I have all 3 connected to a router to a DSL box.
1 is running Win98SE and the other, Win XP Pro.

iBook
On the iBook, I have went to Sharing (in Internet & Network), and turned on Personal File Sharing, Windows Sharing, and Printer Sharing. Turned on Firewall.

Win XP Pro
File and Printer sharing has been enabled. Network name is MSHOME.

Win98SE
File and Printer sharing enabled.
Network name is MSHOME.


I know what to do from there. In either PC, I can't find other networks. First time networking, if you can tell.

Have you restarted both PCs? A lot of times (even if XP says otherwise) you need to reboot to get this sort of thing to "take."
