right.....
My son did secure the network, so now we access it with a password. At this
point, I'm thinking that if I can't figure out if there are settings in there,
I'll just disable the firewalls if I want to print.... which, won't be
terribly often, I don't think.
thanks for everything!!!!!!
Cris

Try enabling it and see what happens. You can always change it back.
Although, by the description you gave, it sounds like it might
specifically be for internet connection sharing. You're techincally not
doing ICS. ICS is when you connect two systems together directly with a
cable. In your case, however, you are using the router.
BUT... again, this is for internet sharing. I think you said you get the
internet. Its the network that you can't access. Networking is for being
able to share folders and even the printer.
