Hi everyone;
I have a printer I like to share with my niece.
Some site's mention that both our computers have to install the Client for Microsoft Network, File and Printer Sharing, NWLink IPX/SPX/NetBIOS Compatible Transport Protocal and enable NetBIOS over TCP/IP. The problem is that it can open up to attacks and hackers. Is this true? If so, is there a safe method for this?
- Both out computers have Windows XP Home with SP2.
- My printer is connected to my computer via USB.
- I have a Westell Versalink 327w modem/router combo connected to my computer via ethernet. (My niece has a D-Link G510 wireless desktop card).
I plan to run the network setup wizard, unless there is a better option?
I had done some research, but still not sure what's the best way for the setup. Any help greatly appreciated.
