An easy way to do that is to run XP's Network Setup Wizard on both
computers. It will make all the necessary settings. This will get
you started:

If you don't have an XP CD or a floppy disk drive, you can copy the
Wizard's executable file to a USB flash drive or writeable CD/DVD and
run it on the Win Me computer:

C:\Windows\System32\Netsetup.exe
