I have a desktop running WinXP. Printer attached is a KM PagePro1350w. Wireless router attached is DLink DI-614+. Desktop connects to the internet with no problem. My network places in WinXP lists the desktop as ABC. Recently purchased a laptop running Win8. On the laptop network it shows the laptop as ABC1 and Network Infrastructure shows the DLink router. I am assuming that I should be able to see both computers listed on the networks but each network only shows that computer. Laptop connects to the internet through the desktop perfectly. Problem is I am trying to network both computers so I can use the printer connected to the desktop but I am having trouble doing that. Can someone please give me "step by step" instructions as to how to set up the network. Basic instructions please as I have never done this. Any help will be greatly appreciated. BTW, both computers show the same workgroup name.
