make sure there is an account on the xp machine for the me machine with exact same username and password as me uses to logon 'to itself'. make sure there is a share on the me machine for xp to 'see'.

how??????????????? i meen there is no server it's juss 4 xp pros an then one windows ME

by sgt_shultz

you can setup ME to 'logon' see Help. that is what you will need to do. did you get the XP machine so it can see the ME machine yet? If you need help setting up a 'share' on the ME machine, also see Help. here is quick overview:
you'll need (Network Properties/Add)
Client for MS networking
IPX/SPX protocol (why not TCPIP???)
File and Print Sharing enabled.
same workgroup name
same subnet mask
a shared resource (like C drive) on each machine.

good luck let us know

ipx/spx will work. but no ping tool. and you will need tcpip for internet access anyway, so why not keep it simple and just have one protocol? i can't help you more without you saying what you have tried...
