Hi Team,

can I get some solution to fix the below issue

Laptop: Microsoft Surface

OS: Win11 Home edition

domain joined or workgroup: Workgroup

We have updated the firewall setting to allow the WIFI SSID to access to the network printer.

The issue is when accessing the printer and click connect - it takes quite a bit of time, and it says " cannot connect to the printer"

Windows is up-to-date and the only thing I haven't done is running the windows optional updates. any other suggestions to fix this issue?

Please advise.

Workgroup and Networks

Is the workgroup a subset of a network. I have 2 laptop computers and 1 wired printer which I want to be able to interface with each other . What is the best way to set up this connection? Is there a simple step by step instruction on how to set up a
connection? I am using windows 10 on 2 Dell PC's and a HP printer.

 

Network Issues

PROBLEM SOLVED​I've got a friend who has Belkin wireless G+ router and a network with one laptop hardwired, and another desktop and laptop connected wirelessly. However whenever I try and enable filesharing between them by sharing folders on the network they seem unable to "see" each other when I add them via Network Places. Can anyone give me any suggestions? (All machines are running XP)

edit: They are in the same workgroup.
