I have a Sony VAIO Laptop running windows ME, and a 300 mghz pentium running windows 98, when I connect the two using an ethernet cable, the network works perfectly, when I use the laptop to dial my computer (using dial up networking/server) I can only access my network from my computer (I can open all of the laptop's files on my computer,) when I go to my network places on the laptop and click on entire network it has a blank folder. How can I get the network to show up on the laptop, it's obviously communicating. Help.

When in the Entire Network section, look to the left hand side where the text says:

You may also view the entire contents of the network.

Click on the hyperlink on entire contents, then double click on Microsoft Windows Network.

You should see your domain or workgroup at that time. Double click on it and you should be able to see the other workstation.

Hope this helped
