Will do, but it is Cat5 wired. Had a similar one with XP to XP sometime ago, 
the secondary sharer would not work so we resorted to a cable router. However 
this particular setup WILL NOT share the printer. We have it sort of going, 
send a print jab and it eventually prints after at least 15 -25 minutes. We 
have had 3 so called network experts try, most failed.
