   I recently bought a new Brother printer and connected it to my XP   
   machine.   
      
   But when my wife wanted to print something, she could no longer see my   
   computer on the network.   
      
   It was fine with our previous Samsung printer, which died. Her   
   computer is runnin Windows 8.1.   
      
   Now I find that I can't see any other computers on our LAN.   
      
   When I try to fix it, I get a message saying that I do not have   
   permission to connect to the other and I must ask the Administrator,   
      
   I AM the administrator, so what to I do?   
      
   Four computers on the network can see each other fine, but my XP   
   machine that has the printer attached, is inviduible to the others,   
   and them to it.   
      
   Why would it stop working?
