I was asked to set up a LAN for a group of older citizens who voluntarily do tax returns for other older, lower income citizens. Had no problem seting up LAN with printer and file shareing using 6 new HP laptops running XP Professional. Have a 7th laptop running XP Home which fails to connect. Have used "Add Printer Wizard" for the successeful installs. Not successful with the older laptop. Get as far as the last step which shows MS Windows Network/VOLGROUP(name of our LAN/then name of server preceeded by a small +. When I click on the small + the printer name(s) don't show. Firewall has been turned off.
