Topic: How do I access the Internet from another computer on my home
network?
You can access the Internet from another linked computer on your home network,
if you have properly configured your VAIO computer for Internet Connection
Sharing (ICS). See step 4 in the section, “Linking Computers and Peripheral
Devices.’’
Topic: Why isn’t my network printer visible to all linked computers on my home
network?
You can establish a network printer by configuring the printer’s sharing
permission.
❑ Verify that the linked computer and the attached printer are both turned on.
❑ Check that the printer is properly configured as a “Shared” printer.
❑ If your printer is attached to your VAIO computer, verify that the latest
Windows Me printer drivers are installed.
Topic: Why can’t I print to my network printer?
You may need to update the printer driver(s) for your printer. If the problem is
with the printer itself, consult the documentation that accompanied your printer
for more detailed information.
Topic: How do I change my Internet sharing settings?
You can change your Internet Connection Sharing settings in the Home
Networking Wizard. To access the Home Networking Wizard, follow these steps:
1 From the desktop, click My Network Places. The My Network Places
window appears.
2 Click Home Networking Wizard. The Home Networking Wizard dialog box
appears.
3 Follow the onscreen instructions to the Internet Connection Sharing screen
and make your desired changes.
✍
Always check the printer manufacturer's Web site for the latest printer drivers for
Windows Me™. Some printers do not function properly without updated drivers.
