Do you have file sharing enabled on the ME machine? I heard ME sux for networking anyway.

ME doesn't work correctly on a network. Unexplained problems are: connection problems like yours, network drives disappear for unexplained reasons, even the entire ME machine will disappear off of a network.

See: http://www.winmag.com/windows/winme/longterm/default.htm

You may wish to use Win98SE on the ME machine.

take no notice of that CRUD from above. ME works ok even on the network, It is only the Geeks who play that have the problems, Set up CORRECTLY and treated PROPERLY ME WORKS WELL.

Have you remapped the drive from the machine you are searching from. If you have mapped a drive letter to your ME machine and it has been lost by that machine it will still show, but access is not available. Delete the mapped drive and then remap. Its worth a try, but belive me ME is OK

Windows ME runs networking fine. I have no problems connecting to it from my Win2k computer. You have to be sure that File and Printer sharing is turned on first though...it isn't turned on by default.

I have a network at home and have a couple of WinME clients, you are crazy to say WinME doesn't work with networking, even if it is a home os, it does work as a network client. Paul, can you ping your computer from the box that cannot see it? Also, when you try to map a drive, does it map it or give an error message? Joe
