The problem is that you're not logging onto the ME computer. Is there
a logon prompt when Windows ME starts? If so, don't cancel it.
Complete the logon by entering a user name and, optionally, a
password. If there's no logon prompt, click Start | Log Off and log
back on. If that makes network access work properly, the most likely
fix is to go to this registry key:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\
Network\Real Mode Net
and delete the value named "AutoLogon", as shown here:
