I've got two home PCs networked together (using PCI network cards and a 5 port hub), both of which had Win98 on them and worked fine - I could share files and printers easily. Now I've upgraded both machines to Win Me and the network doesn't work - but in a very strange way: I can go into "My Network Places" on either machine, and view the contents of the hard drive on the other PC, but as soon as I try to transfer a file from one to the other, it just hangs - no error message. Same with printers - if I try to "Add Printer", I can find the printer on the other PC but it hangs when I click 'OK'. Internet Connection Sharing works fine between the two machines, though. So the question is - what's the problem here?? The network is clearly working, because I can see the files on one PC from the other one, but I can't transfer any data. I can see the printer on the other machine, but can't set it up as a network printer. ICS works fine. Please help!!

I don't know if it will work, but I would give it a try: Check if you have the netBEUI-protocol installed. If that doesnt't work, try this: Uninstall the network and reinstall it from the beginning. You can use the wizard for homenetworks. Sometimes you see things that you overlooked the first time. Johan

This may sound really dumb but have you enabled "file and printer sharing"?I believe there off by default in Win ME. just at thought. jimi_l Your PC Answers.com
