    To observe XP systems on the Network Map is simple once you run out that you necessitate to load LLTD protocol (which is not by defaulting installed on XP). I have comprise a Vista Home desktop and a XP Pro 2 laptop. They together attach to a D-Link wireless router to the internet (SSID ‘warbirds dog one’). That runs extremely well. My workgroup is ‘WOODPARK’. The entire I desire to do is share the printer associated (USB) to the desktop and the external HDD (in addition associated to the desktop).
