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


Noel,

Can a Win Me PC access a network share on a PC running Win 7? Win 7 can
easily access shares on a Win Me machine but the reverse is more
difficult.

AFAIK, there shouldn't be any problem with the Win 7 machine getting into
the the ME machine - but as you say, getting the ME machine into Win 7 may
be more problematic.
Unfortunately, I no longer have a hardware 9x machine to play with (and VM's
don't count), but I'm sure I could share between Vista and ME back during
the Beta. Things may have changed for Win 7.....
Struggling in my archive to find any references for WIn98/W7 networking. -
nope, nothing
I may set up a couple of machines to play with - just for the giggles - but
it'd take a few days.
