Check that all the cables are good. Also make sure that all the PC's have not only the required drivers, but can see them on the network. You shouldnt have any problems.

If something specific went wrong, be sure to post about it.]]> http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,21222254 Mon, 06 Oct 2008 10:32:33 EDT Re: [XP] network wiring http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,21182502 ChiTang :

I am assuming the 2 PC are working, i.e able to surf the web.

Want to add two printers, Brother MFC and HP4

Got a jet direct card installed in the HP4, the brother has a network connection.

Cannot get the network to see the other pc, and cannot see either printer
They are both network ready printers, you don't need the PC to see each other. You need the PC to see the printer. When you hook up the printers with ethernet cable, they will get a Lan IP from the router and will become part of the network. Just install the printer software, during the installation, it will discover the printer, you should at that time change the printer's IP to a fixed IP. It is that simple.

If you want the PC to see each other but can't, that will be a different thread.
