Windows Forum / Windows Me / Networking / October 2004ME To XP Share drives
I have 2 computers that have windows ME and a New computers with windows XP home on it and the computers with windows ME will disappear off the windows XP box. I have windows XP doing a full system backup for the 2 ME boxes.. Is there a compatibility problems between the ME and XP or am I just going crazy... Are they all in the same workgroup? Are the drives/folders shared? Is the firewall turned off on the XP machine? >I have 2 computers that have windows ME and a New computers with windows XP >home on it and the computers with windows ME will disappear off the windows >XP box.

With a single exception, the settings that it mentions don't exist in Windows XP. If you try that tip, don't be surprised that you can't follow it. There's no compatibility problem between ME and XP. All versions of Windows can network with each other. I've written a web page that should help you get everything working: Adding Windows XP to an Existing Network http://www.practicallynetworked.com/sharing/xp/addxp.htm  SignatureBest Wishes, Steve Winograd, MS-MVP (Windows Networking) Please post any reply as a follow-up message in the news group for everyone to see. I'm sorry, but I don't answer questions addressed directly to me in E-mail or news groups.
