    Ok Here is my problem.
    A person I work with is trying to share his printer that is on his home computer (XP Home)
    with his work Laptop (XP Pro and also a member of our domain here at work).
    I am able to get his work laptop connected to his home computer and print with no problems until he shuts down his Laptop once he shuts down the laptop we have to go through and readd the printer everytime.


    If you guys could help me figure out how to keep his printer connected that would be great.
    Thanks

    Is file and printer sharing turned up in the network setup utility??

    As far as I can tell file and printer sharing is turned on. Let me maybe go a little more in depth. when I am working with this person we have to go through the my network places to connect to the printer once we connect the home computer we have to enter in "administrator" and then we have to reconnect to the printer.
    It seems like the laptop can't keep the administrator name and password in memory for some reason...do I need to go about this another way?
