I'm assuming if I just enable / activate the share option through my desktop (since it's the one with the router ) then my Laptop (since it will be on the same workgroup) can just access those external devices wirelessly. Correct?
all your stuff to arrive? by that you mean?
And what do you mean enable each device on the desktop? you mean printer etc? all you have to do is install the printer, scanner on your desktop and network it for the laptop. And yes once everything is shared on the desktop it`ll wirelessly be able to access those devices except if the power is off on your desktop, as obviously no power and the devices wont be recognised. |
Yeah that's exactly what I meant about sharing them. Ok I'm crystal clear on everything now
Oh and all of my stuff to arrive I mean my laptop, printer, scanner, ext hd. If you noticed in the first post I said:
"I'm finally getting a laptop
very soon. Not only that but I'm getting a brand new color laser printer, scanner, and external hard drive."
So it's on the way... bought everything from online vendors, cheaper that way. Besides my laptop had to be bought online from HP because they didn't sell this model in stores.
