Connecting WinME and Vista
I'm trying to connect my WinME computer with the Vista computer thru a wired
router. I can get access to the internet on both computers. But the WinME and Vista don't see each other. I checked that the SSID and workgroup are same on both computers. What else I can check? |

By design Win Me cannot access files on a PC running Vista although PCs running Win Me can "see" PCs running Vista. -- Mike Maltby |

If yes, how? |

So WinME cannot access files in Vista, is it possible the Vista to access files in WinME? If yes, how? I have actually done so; before I upgraded from Windows Me to Windows XP Home Edition. I don't let the Windows Vista computer find the network automatically, but I can attach a shared folder using UNC, and copy files from the source (Windows Me) to the destination (Windows Vista), and back, from the Vista computer. UNC looks thus: \\ComputerName\ShareName You would just use the "Map Network Drive" feature. Don't recall the menu path in Windows Vista. But properly done the shared folder shows up in Vista as a "Network Drive", with a letter (should start with "Z:" by default). -- Norman ~Shine, bright morning light, ~now in the air the spring is coming. ~Sweet, blowing wind, ~singing down the hills and valleys. |

Connecting WinME and Vista
Thank you. I can now access the files on WinME via the Vista by Map a
Network Drive. I'm so happy after struggling for more than 2 weeks to access the files. Thanks again "N.
