I have 2 computers sharing an internet connection on a Belkin router. This is a wired network! When I first connected them to the router, I had to change my printer configurationon on the no.1 box to a shared printer, in order for the printer to print. Which leads me to my question. Does this Belkin router tie my 2 computers together in such a way, that I can print on the printer that is connected to box #1 (usb connection) from box #2 (2 boxes connected by router)? How would I go about file sharing? Are there any good tutorials, on this subject (preferably written in everyday english smile )? I believe there is a way to get this to work, I just need some direction here!
Thanks in advance for ANY help

Since you are using Linux as your operating system, you should probably go to Ntcompatible's sister site - http://www.linuxcompatible.org/ to have this question answered.

Because you post this in the "Buy, Sell and Trade" forum and not in one of the Linux forums wink. All forums in the "other" section (Buy, Sell and Trade, Feedback, Slack Space) are shared between both sites.

I moved this thread now to the Linux networking forum.
