Hi,

I have set up an ad hoc wireless network between a win 2000 desktop and a xp media center laptop. I am trying to use the desktop as a print server for the laptop.

I set up the network with WEP. The xp sees it and connects automatically, however when I try to print I get an error on the desktop that states xC0000005 ACCESS VIOLATION. I have tried everything I can think of to get the thing to work.

The xp has just the windows firewall running and the 2000 is not connected to the internet and has no firewall.

Please help!
