I have windows XP home SP2 and a network of three computers around the
house.  For several weeks, one thing has been extremely slow.  If I go

I have 2 computers in my home in separate rooms that I would like to bridge
but do not know how (if it is even possible). They both have Windows XP.

a laptop with printers attached to the PC.
I would like to see the printers from my laptop so that I don't have to
continually unplug and plug in the printer to the laptop and visa versa.

It just sits there trying.  What is wrong?

I added a computer to the network.  To test it I gave it the name
New_Warehouse.  After testing completed I changed the name of the computer
to Shipping and reconnected it.  I use a backup server (MIRRA) and when I
connect it calls the computer Shipping on New_computer.

technology.

I am looking for a program where through TCP/IP I can share an application
window on my PC with another computer in the same or even different subnet.
For example, let's say there 2 PCs at work: mine and a co-worker's. At the
moment, every time I want to show him something like a ...
