I have a problem networking using Windows XP. I am trying to share my printer over the network. I mean, not the LAN, but the internet, or maybe RAS.
I did the following to allow my users to print over my computer but everything failed.
1. Activated IIS on my windows XP machine, I allowed the use of my printer and shared my printer.
2. I asked the user to install it from the network and pointed it to http://my ip address/printers/<sharename>/.printer -- the printer is shown to be offline, but it is really online, properly connected to my computer and I can print locally. And I can even print to it "over the network" - I mean installing this printer and pointing it in a network location as shown above.
3. I also tried using \\<my ip address>\printers\<sharename>/.printer --- still not successful
if not using IIS, is there anything I can use to share my printer with anyone?
Btw, i am referring to someone who is running a Windows 98 and Windows ME Machine.
Any other solutions to this problem.
The problem reversed, is there any solution that a Windows 98/Me Machine share its resources/printer?
If not through the Internet, simply RAS, is this possible. I mean RAS as asking someone to dial into my modem, and configured my mahcine to accept incoming connections and provided a login and password for the dial up. This was successful, however I cant see the person's computer over the network using Network neighborhood, or my network places, instead, I use Remote Administrator 2.1 to see his files, as well as his monitor...
Any suggestion is appreciated. Thank you
