and wireless) that I am
using to connect to the
network need to be
configured with the
Windows Client and File
and Print Sharing.
• Windows computers (wired
and wireless) that I am
using to connect to the
network need to be
configured with the same
Windows Workgroup or
Domain settings as the
other Windows computers
in the combined wireless
and wired network.
• Any Windows networking
security access rights such
as login user name/
password that have been
assigned in the Windows
network must be provided
when Windows prompts for
such information.
• If so-called Windows ‘peer’
networking is being used,
the printer needs to be
enabled for sharing.

usually managed by corporate
computer support groups.
Windows Workgroup settings
are commonly managed by
individuals who want to set up
small networks in their homes, or
small offices.
