From explorer: MyNetworkPlaces/EntireNetwork/Network/Computer

Computers A.B & C all show up on the list. C's own resources are accessable
as well as B's. Attempting to access A (by clicking on icon in explorer
window) produces a dialog box with the following error: "A" is not
acessable. This device does not exist on the network

There was one event recorded but unfortunately, I did not record what I was
doing at the time. The message was "The browser was unable to retrieve a
list of servers from the browser master \\ NAME on the network
\device\nwlnknb. The data is the error code. "

It seems that with all my twiddling about I have managed to 'break' my
internet sharing connection. I had it working quite well the other day. Oh
bother...

Having recently acquired some older computers I am now setting up a P2P
network. I am trying to determine why my ME machince does not seem able
to
connect to my Win2K machine.

All machines:
-New installation of appropriate OS's
-No apparent hardware issues
-Using thin-net 10base2
-File and printer sharing enabled
-Logging on with administrator account (same password and user)

Machine A:
-Win2K (NT5)
-Modem for internet connection
-requires (ctrl-alt-del) log-on
-IP Addres set to 192.168.0.1/255.255.255.0

Machine B:
-WinXP Home
-requires log-on
-IP Addres set to 192.168.0.25/255.255.255.0

Machine C:
-WinME
-requires log-on
-IP Addres set to 192.168.0.50/255.255.255.0

Now; using the windows explorer...

Machine A can see B & C and connect to and use their resources.

Machine B can see A & C and connect to and use their resources.

Machine C can see B and connect to and use its resources. But, Machine C
can
see A in the 'my network places' but cannot make a connection.

I have already tried reinstallation of the network software on Machine
C. I
have also replaced the network card in C with the card from both other
machines. The problem continues as above. Any ideas?

What happens when you try to make a connection? What error messages are
you receiving? Does Windows 2000 record an event in the Event Log when
you try to access it from the ME machine?
