There's no Windows firewall in W2K. So unless you bought one, there
shouldn't be a firewall. (And you are really not safe if you just put
your machine on the internet). 

Anyway, if you know how to use command prompt (Start->Run->cmd), open
it and type "net share". See any shared directories and the QTR
printer there? Mine shows "Quad1270" pointing to USB0001. And other
directories such as "C$".

(C$ is special.. don't really need to worry about security implication)

Next, try type "dir \\127.0.0.1\C$" into command prompt. See if you
can see your root directory. If it works then QTR should work in theory.
