File and Print Sharing Win XP

[slapmatt]

I want to share a printer connected to my PC, via a wireless network to the other PC in my house.

I have enabled File and Print Sharing on both PCs, they are both in a workgroup of the same name, but when I browse My Network Places I can only see the computer I am actually sitting at.

Where am I going wrong?

I set this up for someone last week, can't remember how I did it now!

I think I went into the computer which had the printer connected, clicked on the control panel -> printers. Clicked on the printer I wanted to share and clicked share this printer ( in a tab on the left ).

Then went onto wireless laptop and added a new printer, selected network printer and put in something like //ComputerName/PrinterName into location. Gave it a username and password and away it went. There may have been another step in here I am missing out though!
