One Care Question
- I have 2 subscriptions of onecare and I wanted to install and print to another printer associated with the other subscription. Is that possible?
Answers
- Not using OneCare, but if they are on the same local network you can use Windows built in file and printer sharing feature to do this.

You may need to make some firewall changes in OneCare:
Open OneCare on each of the computers.
Click Change Settings
On the firewall tab, click configure firewall
If the network is shown as Public, click Change Location to change it to "Home or Work."
Click the Advanced Settings button
Click Network connections tab.
If there are multiple active connections shown, you may need to disable the extras in your Windows network connections settings. (Network and Sharing Center, manage connections, in Vista; Right click My Network Places and select Properties on the Start menu in XP)
On the Ports and Protocols tab, add a check mark next to File and Printer Sharing - for subnet and Internet if the first setting alone (after all of the above are verified) does not allow Sharing to work.
If all of the above fail, please contact support.
