I am trying to setup my XP windows to print through my Linux 9.0. From my Linux box. I set the printer up as the share printer and have the same Workgroup as my XP. On XP window, I can see my Linux box appear under view workgroup computer. But when I try to access the Linux from from XP, I get the error message saying "\\Localhost is not accessible. You might not have permission to use this network resourse. Contact the administrator of this server to find out if you have access permissions. You were not connected because a duplicate name exists on the the network. Go to system in Control Panel to change the computer name and try again."
- I tried to change my computer name to many other different name and still seeing the same error.
