Default networking ME to win 7 via router

For now forget about accessing the Win Me PCs, can you "see" them from Win
7? That is, do they appear in the Network listing in Windows Explorer or in
the Network Map accessed by clicking "see full map" (top right) in the
Network & Sharing Centre? Note that your Win Me boxes won't show as being
connected to your router but instead should appear at the bottom left since
they don't run the necessary service to be placed in their correct position
on the map.

Greetings Mike,
yes sir, did all the network turn-on I could find, did restarts
of both win 7 and router just in case they need a reboot to setup.
tried it with a password and then without.
neither would id any ME's in the win 7 network screens..

as I say earlier, I'm no network person but from the experiences I had
with the ME setup, something is missing with the cross
platform link.
the ME's will see each other but not the win 7,
and with the win 7 being newer you'd think it should see the ME's
but so far it hasn't..
least wise the way I'd doing it..

it's no big thing, but would have been nice if I could transfer
files, but I can live without it...
