Problem solved. The computer with the printer attached had a software firewall installed in addition to the XP SP2 firewall, after a bit of hunt and peck we got it turned off and everything is working.

WooooooooooooHOOOOOOOOOOOOO
 

:excited:

Gresch is THE man! Thanks again, Gresch!

Also, sorry for spending so much board resources as we went back & forth - we should have connected up on the phone sooner...

And thanks to everyone else who offered assistance - very much appreciated! As usual, this place is the best!

Hope you all found it entertaining!

Edit: Gresch - BTW - I found on Norton how to turn the firewall back on and still allow access from the other computer - all I had to do is list the IP address of the other one and allow access!

Spending so much of the board resources???? Dude, that's what it's here for :thumbup:

Thanks Jeff!

That's great, glad it's working.

OK - hold on to your boot-straps everyone - I'm going to start working on my daughter's new Mac later this afternoon - and I've got zero experience with this one... I'm off to start reading the manual now while I'm waiting for her to come home with the machine... :thumbup:

Juan can help you there.

Here's a start. http://tinyurl.com/2tcab
