Share Windows PC files and printers at home in a combined wireless and wired network. Note: For sharing files and printers on other types of computers like Macintosh or Linux, refer to the product documentation that came with those computers. 1. Use the Windows Printers and Fax features to locate available printers in the combined wireless and wired network in your home. 2. Use the Windows Add a Printer wizard to add access to a network printer from the notebook PC you are using to wirelessly connect to the network. 3. From the File menu of an application such as Microsoft Word, use the Print Setup feature to direct your print output to the printer in the network. • Windows computers (wired and wireless) I am using to connect to the network need to be configured with the Windows Client and File and Print Sharing. • Windows computers (wired and wireless) I am using to connect to the network need to be configured with the same Windows Workgroup or Domain settings as the other Windows computers in the combined wireless and wired network. • Any Windows networking security access rights such as login user name/ password that have been assigned in the Windows network must be provided when Windows prompts for such information. • If so-called Windows 'peer' networking is being used, the printer needs to be enabled for sharing. Windows Domain settings are usually managed by corporate computer support groups. Windows Workgroup settings are commonly managed by individuals who want to set up small networks in their homes, or small offices. For assistance with setting up Windows networking, refer to the PC Networking Tutorial on the MR814 v3 Resource CD (2230-10095-01 ) and the Help information provided in the Windows system you are using. For assistance with setting up printers in Windows, refer to the Help and Support information that comes with the version of the Windows operating systems you are using. • Introduction 2-9 202-10039-01
