Computers Running Windows Xp: Accessing Shared Folders; Windows Xp: Sharing A Printer - Hercules ePLUG 200 Manual

3.4.4. Computers running Windows XP: Accessing shared folders

To easily access folders set up for sharing by several computers, it is preferable that the computers belong to
the same workgroup. In Windows XP, the workgroup name has been defined using the Network Setup
Wizard.

3.4.5. Windows XP: Sharing a printer

It is possible to put a printer on the network and share it with all computers in the house equipped with a
Hercules ePlug adapter.
To access a printer on the network, the printer must be set up for sharing on the computer where it is
connected and installed.
On the computer connected to the printer:
1. Click Start/My Computer.
2. Click My Network Places, then click View workgroup
computers.
You directly access the list of computers in your workgroup.
3. Double-click the computer that is sharing the folders you
wish to access.
All shared folders appear.
1. Click Start/Control Panel/Printers and Other Hardware/
Printers and Faxes.
2. Right-click the printer and select Sharing.
3. In the Sharing tab, select the Share this printer radio
button and enter a name for your printer.
Give the printer a name that is unique and sufficiently
distinctive, making it easy to recognize (my-printer or home
laser printer, for example). If one of your computers is running
Windows 98 SE, we recommend that the sharing name not
exceed 12 characters (without spaces) in order to ensure its
compatibility with this operating system.
4. Click Apply, then OK.
