Default networking ME to win 7 via router

Hey Furball..........I managed to set up my wireless router all by myself at
Xmas so Elayne could use her laptop...........I think I deserve a medal at
the very least, LOL!!

I tried that Network Magic, but found that I did better with the DLink book
and my own ingenuity......so to speak!! I even managed to put a lock on it
cuz the neighbours were using my bandwith.......shame on them!!

You need to set up the Win7 machine user with a password - then you can
use that username and password to log in from the ME machine.
Alternatively, you can go into the Network & Sharing page in Win 7, and
switch off password-protected sharing.

HTH - post back if you need blow-by-blow instructions

Greetings,
Got a win 7 machine last month and was hoping to network it with the
older ME machines (2 in current network).
However each attempt the win 7 machine asks for passwords and such
which the networked ME machines
never used..
I'm not big on networks, any suggestions would be appreciated..
