Networking xp to an existing me network

G

Guest

I currently am running a network with 2 ME systems. Everything is fine. I
just added an XP system and cannot get that computer to be seen on the
existing network or see the other 2 computers. The workgroup is the same and
I assigned a unique computer name. I am not sure what the settings should be
or what should be installed in reference to the NetBIEU, TCP/IP, and/or
IPX/SPX. Any help would be appreciated here.

Set up the XP system to be compatible with the existing network
settings on the ME systems. I've written a web page that should help:
