OK.... today I setup my 2 computers to share internet and other things using a crossover ethernet wire and 2 ethernet cards... I just noticed that I can't access one of the PCs hard drives... here's the setup:
PC-1 (host)
WinXP Pro... has a DSL internet connection using USB. This has an onboard 10/100 ethernet adapter.PC-2 (guest)
WinME... has a newly installed 10/100 ethernet card.Both computers are connected using a crossover RJ45.
OK... I can of course surf the internet using my XP PC... and I can also surf the net using my WinME PC... they're sharing the internet connection.
I've shared all my hard drives on the WinXP PC so that the WinME PC and use them and transfer files... (I've already transfered some files and it worked great).
I've also shared the hard drive of my WinME PC so that my WinXP PC can do the same... however.. my WinXP PC can't find or see the drive. I've looked at everything I can think of on both PCs.... WinME says it's sharing and the WinME PC can see my WinXP drives... but for some reason my WinXP PC can't see or find the WinME drive.
Ideas??
Thanks ahead of time.

Update...
I was able to add it after doing a computer search... it found my other PC... I then opened that PC and was able to add the hard drive... funny... it was easier to find my WinXP hard drives in WinME than for my to find my WinME drives in WinXP. :/
