bob; You will need the ip address of the printer and the ip address of the drive. press command-k and click browse and see if the drive shows up. if not, type the ip address into the edit field like this: smb://ipaddress click connect. Let me know if this works or not. Now, for the printer, go to system prefs>print and fax> ad printer. choose hp jet socket direct and fill the ip address in in the next field and click ad. Let me know if this doesn't work. I'm happy to take this off like with you if you like. On Jun 24, 2010, at 12:32 PM, Bob Ray wrote: David, you may have hit on the problem.

I have turned on airport on both of our mac minis and connected to the network. It does fine for accessing the internet and mail. It shows me that it has the network but I cannot access the network printer or the shared drive. Any suggestions would be much appreciated.
