Hello. I have small home network. Two desktop computers are connected to router. On one computer (running Windows XP Professional) shared printer is connected. Other computer is running Windows XP Home edition. The problem occurs when I try to access shared printer from Win XP Home computer. I receive some errors and system asks me for password. Any suggestions?

Hello. This is usual problem with networks that have Windows XP Home and Professional operating systems. You will have to enable guest account on Windows XP Professional computer and create account with exactly the same username and password that you use to log on Windows XP home computer. Then you will be able to access printer without errors.
