I am using Windows, and trying to connect to a printer that is connected to another Windows computer. I have done this before, and it worked perfectly, but now, when I go into Network, it doesn't show the other computers. All the settings on either computers have not been changed, and all the sharing options are turned on. What could be the problem? |

The computer that can't connect to other computers is it able to connect to the internet? Also which Windows OS are you using? Have you tried pinging the other computers? If anything isn't working correctly my fist step is to ping my router, then other computers on the network and then ping Microsoft (if necessary). If all that works I proceed messing around with settings on the computer in question. If you can't even ping your router check your ethernet cable and possibly replace it. |

You must give us more details about your compute, like: What version of Windows you have (XP, Vista, 7, 95)? Look at your Network settings in control panel and see if your card is properly installed and configured, see if you are on the network that you created, if not, can you see the network(if wireless)? ! My advice is to ask a friend that has the proper knowledge to come and see what problem you have, because it might be a technical problem and if so nobody here can help you without a full understanding of your computer setup! And ... very important to remember to you and all others that reed this, wen you ask a question ... write a more detailed and comprehensive description of whatever your asking!
