Default anybody know how to share a computer on a network?
I have a D-Link DIR-655 with shareport...not exactly sure how to use that, but otherwise how do I share a printer that is hooked up to one computer with a computer that is on wifi?



so like (laptop)--wifi--(wired/wireless router)__(Comp)__(printer)

does it matter if it's a mac and do I need to install drivers on the laptop as well?

gah....why can't they just use print instead of having me go on a goose hunt...

e-manuals need to stop...when you buy a product it should be in the fraking box...keep them up for people who lose the manuals, but don't make that the only place they're at!!

thanks for the link
