How do I set up Me windows to XP windows.
My Me windows reconize 2 of 3 XP windows computers I have
but they don't reconize the Me windows computer.
 
Greetings Kevin,

Make sure the XP's firewall is disabled. It will block file and printer
sharing by default. If you installed a third party firewall such as
ZoneAlarm, Sygate or Norton make sure it is properly configured for the
network. Ensure NetBIOS over TCP/IP is enabled on all machines. Details
here.

Enable NetBIOS Over TCP/IP (NetBT)

Make sure you are using TCP/IP as the only network protocol. If NetBEUI or
IPX/SPX is installed on any of the network computers, uninstall them.
