Just to add,your wired computer must be turned on in order for the wireless to print, at least mine does I found out.

Drag and drop is fine. If you can see where to drag from and at the same time see a drop to destination on the remote computer, sounds like you have things shared ok.

Here's sort of an old article at Microsoft for Internet Connection Sharing on XP which sort of a step by step walks through configurations. Maybe look through it to see if you perhaps see something that has been overlooked. Could be your usb connection wont cross over to the network card, but I've seen others use it that way with usb wifi adapters, which are pretty much the same deal. Really pretty simple for a network guy,, If you have a bit of a geeky neighbor, maybe ask for some help. It could be that the supplied usb cards driver software purposely wont bridge to the nic to defeat sharing and then you would need a card adapter which is on the bus like a real nic would be. Here is a link that might be useful: Internet Connection Sharing with Windows XP

ok mike. you were correct. dont know why i did not see that. i had set up a olk lyksys roughter with dd-wrt. its default ip address is 192.168.1.1. my main roughter is set as 192.168.0.1. so i went back into my dd-wart roughter which i have set up as a wireless repeater. and canged the default ip address to 102.168.0.2. re-boot roughter and went to each pc on network. and did a ipconfig /release and renew. bingo. everything up and running. everbody talking to each other. thinks for pointing that out to me. sometimes it just takes a fresh set of eyes to see what is right in front of you. thanks again.
