If you create a share (e.g. CDrive) that shares all or part of your file system, the remote machine's user must have permissions to it. These must be set in two places. The first is on the share. The second is on the file system itself.For example, if you turn off password protected sharing, the remote system will effectively log in as "guest". To make the share work, you must give "guest" control of the share (no, "guest" is not included in "everybody", which should more correctly be named "everybody-but-guest"). I always use "Full Control". Then, you must add "guest" to the list of users who can access the shared part of the file system tree and give them control there too.Note that setting file permissions on the root of the file system can literally take forever. How uSoft has managed to take an operation that would require a few seconds on Linux/Unix and turn it into a half hour project is beyond me but its been that way ever since Windoze 2000 so, "Patience Grasshopper."If you fail to add permissions for your remote user (either logged-in or "guest") to the shared portion of the file tree, you will maddeningly see the share in all its glory, on the remote system, but when you try to access it you'll get some suitably obscure message about not being permitted to access it (the whole truth, actually but, in this case, the best lie is the truth).

The printer which is connected to the router should be the one to be shared. Hi, I am not sure you can share two printers at the same time with only one router/modem.

I have 2 printers connected via USB to a Vista PC that’s on a network with a Windows 7 PC and a Windows XP PC.

The printers are working – I can print without a problem.

The weirdness starts when I try to share the printer.

Right-click – Sharing – Share this Printer – OK. Nothing happens – the “hand” symbol under the printer doesn’t appear.

Right-click – Sharing – Share this Printer – Apply. Nothing happens.

Okayyy…. Control Panel – Network & Sharing Center – Printer Sharing is OFF. Aha! Gotcha! I just need to turn it to ON, click on “Apply”, and… NOTHING HAPPENS.

File and Media sharing works fine.
Firewall and antivirus disabled.

Any advice?

All are named 'workgroup' I have double checked all your instructions. However, the xp and vista can see all three pc's and access files and folders but windows 7 cannot see any of the others. Under 'network' on my windows 7 pc only my w7 pc is there. If I double click this I get an error message saying 'it is not accessable, you might not have permission to use this network resource, check with administrator'. (Im not sure if this should happen when trying to access the same pc)? It did work a few months ago and I don't know what happened to change this. Ive been trying to sort this for weeks with no luck!
