Printer Sharing

This chapter describes how to share files, hard drives, and printers over the Wireless Network Extender’s network.

File Sharing

To share files, directories, or hard drives on the MegaPlug network, select the oper- ating system running on the computer, then follow the instructions.

Windows XP

After installing and configuring the Extender, Windows XP automatically enables file sharing. The only item that needs to be altered is workgroup settings. All the computers on the network must have the same workgroup name, but different computer names. To check or change this:

1.Right-click the My Computer icon and click Properties. The “System Properties” window appears.

2.Select the Computer Name tab.
