    I have a small wireless network installed in my house where the computer in my room shares the internet connection from the main computer in the living room connected with a Netgear router.

    Unfortunately I do not have a priinter and was wondering if I am able to share the printer in the living room with my connection. Both computers are running Windows XP, do I need to install some sort of print services? Any help appreciated..

    That's pretty easy, you just have to share the printer from the machine in the living room. Go to control panel, printers and faxes, then rightclick on the printer you want to share, and select sharing. If you have any problem there is a good help file under sharing. Good luck!
