Can't see WindowsXP on a WindowsME box

and vise versa.

Long story short, I have 3 computers on my
network running 98/ME/XP.

Does anyone know how I can make my xp box
show up on the network? I have all the
protocals installed and turned the firewall
protection off.

Any suggestions?
Thanks!

Haven't installed XP yet, still reading up on it. Could the problem be that your XP installation is NTFS? In which case it won't be visible to Win98\ME?

Just guessing

I don't think it could be that due to my
xp box not being formatted to ntfs.

Thanks for the idea though.

I don't understand this.. I got an ME box
to talk to an XP box on a p2p network at
another house, but with my network I can't
get it to work.. I even have the same setup.

Leave it to Microsoft to confuse the heck
out of you.
