How can I network these computers (laptops) so they may access the desktop computer and the printer thats connected to it? (Mainly I want to print from the laptops but wouldnt mind accessing info on the desktop) thank you"

Answer
Hi Mike,

Without knowing the version of Windows XP (home, media center or professional) I can only assume you have home edition on all PCs. If so, use this link to configure your systems:

Good luck!
