I have 2 computers sharing an internet connection on a Belkin router. This is a wired network! When I first connected them to the router, I had to change my printer configurationon on the no. 1 box to a shared printer, in order for the printer to print.

I have 2 computers sharing an internet connection on a Belkin router. This is a wired network! When I first connected them to the router, I had to change my printer configurationon on the no.1 box to a shared printer, in order for the printer to print. Which leads me to my question. Does this Belkin router tie my 2 computers together in such a way, that I can print on the printer that is connected to box #1 (usb connection) from box #2 (2 boxes connected by router)? How would I go about file sharing? Are there any good tutorials, on this subject (preferably written in everyday english )? I believe there is a way to get this to work, I just need some direction here!
Thanks in advance for ANY help

Because you post this in the "Buy, Sell and Trade" forum and not in one of the Linux forums . All forums in the "other" section (Buy, Sell and Trade, Feedback, Slack Space) are shared between both sites.
 
I moved this thread now to the Linux networking forum.
