Update!
The vista wireless laptop and the W7 bloke PC can now see each other.
But the printer is installed on this PC old XP that I am too lazy to update.
Next step to get the old geriatric XP PC to play nicely.
Keep cables plugged in would help! :sigh:
shit! now W7-PC wants a username and password for vista laptop, but it doesn't have one! Blank passwords are not allowed.
