Hey all,
Wanting to network Vista Basic Acer Aspire 5315 Laptop + Evo W4000 PC with XPsp2. With the intention to have 2 printers available to both sys.

Purchased Linksys SD205 switch and 2x cat6 Ethernet cables (upon salesmans recomend)

XP sys has Samsung ML2010 printer via USB and both systems have drivers installed (different versions Vista + XP)
(have 2 printers to hookup, but just killed all in one, have to renew.)
Basic hookup= Vista can see evo but cant access printer. XP can't see Vista?

Unsure of what wizards to run on each machine.
User is puter literate but no experience with networks.
How do I accomplish my aim please.

NT.
