Sharing folders & printer

1 post

Can someone please advise me on how to connect my work laptop to my home PC so that I can see the shared folders on the PC as well as print to the shared printer....

I have a Netgear wireless router connected to my home PC and 2 wireless laptops (home laptop and work laptop) connected to the wireless router. A deskjet printer is connected to the home PC.

The work laptop (which I use all the time at work and is connected to the company network) has been configured in a way that it does not belong to a workgroup. It is joined to the company domain name.

The home laptop belongs to the same workgroup as the home PC so this laptop can happily look at the shared folders on the home PC as well as print on the shared deskjet printer.

Is there a way that I can get the work laptop to see the shared folders on the home PC as well as print on the shared deskjet printer?

All machines are running Windows XP Pro
