I've never touched WinME before but I'm well familiar with setting up my Win 98 network.

I've got WinMe that needs to eb network to a Win NT server thru DHCP.

The adapter card as well as all the settings for it are the excat same as a Win98 system on the network but I still can't access anyhting on the network with this WinME system.

Anything diffrent I should know about in ME vs 98?

Thanks for the help,

You didn't mention whether it was picking up the DHCP.

If so then I would start looking at the system logs on the NT server to see if the system is causing unwanted browser elections or is having login problems with the server.

If not then rundiags on the card and make sure you have the latest drivers. Make sure the Device Manager shows the card and does not indicate any conflicts.

Try pinging the loopback address 127.0.0.1.

If the card is set to autodetect the speed/duplex set itspecifically to match your hub/switch.

Just some things to look at...more info would be helpful...

enjoy
