OT: How Do You Set Up Home Networking

[narf poit chez BOOM]

From previous threads with this topic, ME hates networking with non-ME computers.

Gotta love this. If this topic has come up before, I apologize for rehashing it. However if it has come up before then this problem is rampant.

More like XP does not like none XP computers. My win2k linked up with my 98 PC just fine.

God you darn near have to have a double doctrate in PC managment to even begin to understant this mess.

ME won't recognize my network set up disk, even though XP sees the ME machine, it won't allow me to access it.

It has to be a setting I am over looking on this, my XP machine that is causing the problem.

XP hates networking with non-NT computers about as much, if not more... Neither of them play nice...

Exactly... Before XP (and apparently ME), networking was fairly easy... XP pretends to be more secure, which really just means that it screws up everything you want to do with it, all while having just as many, if not more (due to more "features"), holes in it than its predecessors... I wish you good luck.

Have you tried shutting off all computers, then powering them up in a specific order? If that order doesn't work, try a different order. This sometimes does the trick...
