Thanks you all so bloody much for helping me out with this older but much
loved Windows ME personal computer. I just went out and spent some future hard earned money on a new PC complete with Windows XP operating system. Seems I may have a bit of a problem on my hands. I've shared my entire old hard disk out from my Window ME machine, plugged my shiny new PC into the same Ethernet switch, but I cannot seem to find said PC anywhere. Did I do something wrong? Look in the wrong place? Not reboot enough? I have about 100 gb of files that I'd like off that old box onto the new one, and I can't seem to be able to find it using Network Neighborhood. Any help would be read, appreciated, and responded to. Thanks ahead of time. |

Start by disabling the Windows XP firewall and uninstalling any
non-Microsoft firewall software on either PC, then see if you can see your computers on the network. -- Richard G.

Have you checked the TCP/IP settings to make sure that the two machines are on the same subnet? -- Mike T. Action figure sold separately. |

Thanks, that seemed to work. Copied my stuff. But, how come I can't see my 'Widnows' folder on the WinMe PC? Just wondering..... I guess I could just go the console on the WinME PC and move those folders/files to a location I can see, but it seems a little strange. (Or maybe I just can't spell?

I am using a wireless router with a built in switch as my path point. This
device is handling the doling out of IPs, thank goodness, because I really can't make heads or tails out of the gobble-de-gook that is subnets and such. But, most of the stuff is working now, thanks.

By default, Windows XP Home Edition does not share certain folders; that may
be what you're seeing if the Me computer can't see things on XP. -- Richard G. Harper [MVP Shell/User] * PLEASE post all messages and replies in the newsgroups * for the benefit of all.
