Networking Win ME and Win 2000 Pro

[Dave S]

I have acquired a PC w/ Win 2K Pro loaded. I want to
install it in my home network. I want other PC's on the
net to be able to access the drives on my Win 2k PC.

I am using "Administrator" to log on (it was the only user
set up). I set the sharing parameters for the drive(s),
not requiring a password, full sharing.

I have it set up to where the Win 2K PC can see the other
PCs' drives, fine.

I can see the Win 2K PC in my workgroup, but I can't see
any drives on it from my Win ME PC.

But when I try to map the Win 2K PC from a Win ME PC, it
asks for a password on the Win ME PC to access the Win 2K.

What do I set on which PC (ME or Win 2K) so that I can
access the Win 2K PC's hard drives,etc.

I am somewhat familiar with Win ME, but Win 2K is
completely new to me.

Thanks in advance.

Use the User tool in the Control Panel on the Windows 2000 computer to add
the name (and password, if any) used to log onto the WindowsMe computer.

Create a user account with identical username/password on both the ME and
2000 computers. Log into the ME computer with that account.
