Someone said i would have to install net booie? client for microsoft networking? Workgroup? Domain?

What OS will you be using?

If it's Win XP just run the "Network Wizard"...it'll take care of everything.

The wizard will basically install:
Client for Microsoft Networks
File and Printer Sharing
QoS Packet Scheduler
TCP/IP protocol

Wham bam thank you ma'am:) At that point just set up which printers and files you want shared.

Warning - never share an entire drive (bad for a number of reasons).

Have fun:)

You need TCP/IP and Client for Microsoft Networks.

You can disable QoS packet scheduler (WinXP).
