This is probably not the correct forum to ask this question...but thought I
would try anyway. I have a home network set up (I am a bit new to
networking) and everything is working but I have a question. I have certain
folders shared with the "downstairs" computer and certain folders shared
with the "upstairs" computer. The downstairs computer is running WinXP HE
with 1 G of DDR RAM and the upstairs computer is running WinME with 512 M of
SDRAM memory. The issues is this: I can see and have access to the
upstairs computer from the downstairs computer and I can see but NOT have
access to the downstairs computer from the upstairs computer...it says that
there is not enough memory. Is this truly the case or are there just
limitation with WinME that do not exist with WinXP HE??? Before I go out
and buy more SDRAM memory or I upgrade WinME to WinXP HE...I would like know
for sure, if possible, which it is...Thanks for any advice you can
provide....CP

RAM is not the issue.
Turn the firewall off on the XP HE or set it to accept the ME puter.

I tried turning off the firewall on the XP HE computer but it did not
help...the "upstairs" computer is wireless (wireless PCI adapter to a
wireless router downstairs). Does that make a difference?

Go into your Control Panel and double-click on the Network icon. Make sure
you have the following items installed:
a.. Client for Microsoft Networks
b.. Your Network adapter
c.. TCP/IP
d.. IPX/SPX or Netbeui
e.. File and Printer Sharing for Microsoft Networks

Install IPX/SPX or Netbeui Protocol, I can't remember if it is IPX/SPX or
Netbeui in Windows ME.
Go to the XP computer and install NWLink IPX/SPX on it also.
Turn your firewalls back on and you should be able to connect.

OK...like a say, I am a bit new to this...what I have on the XP computer is:

Client for MS Networks
Eacfit Driver
File and Packet Sharing for MS Networks
QoS Packet
Internet Protocal

When I click on install...I get the following choices:
Client
Services
Protocol

What I have on the ME computer is:

Client for MS Networks
LPR for TCP/IP printing
802.11g Wirless PCI card
Dial-up adpater
TCP/IP - 802.11g PCI Card
TCP/IP - Dial Up Adapter
File and Print Sharing for MS Networks

When I click on install...I get the following choices:
Client
Services
Protocol

I do not see your choices (IPX/SPX or Netbeui etc...) listed...so I am not
sure where to go???

OK CP
Everything looks good.
Click on Protocol then Microsoft that is where you will find them. TCP/IP &
IPX/SPX are Protocols.

Windows XP install:
TCP/IP Protocol
NWLink IPX/SPX NetBios Protocol

Windows ME install:
IPX/SPX or Netbeui Protocol
Like I said before I don't remember what ME has but you do not need both and
there may only be one list to choose from.
