using to connect to the
wireless network needs to be
configured with:
• Windows Client and File
and Print Sharing
• The same Windows
Workgroup or Domain
settings as the other
Windows computers in the
combined wireless and
wired network.
2. Any Windows networking
security access rights such as
login user name/ password
that have been assigned in the
Windows network must be
provided when Windows
prompts for such information.

networking is being used, the
printer needs to be enabled for
sharing.
Windows Domain settings are
usually managed by corporate

are commonly managed by
individuals who want to set up
small networks in their homes, or
small offices.
