OK, i have my XP networked to my ME pc, internet connection sharing works, but file sharing doesnt, i really need file sharing to work, all settings are default, and it is a 2 PC network, no hubs etc...

You could follow this tutorial from Microsoft, "How to configure file sharing in Windows XP" http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx?scid=kb;en-us;304040

nope, i already got all that, its just on my XP comp in network places, it shows the pcs connected to the network, but i cant open the ME one, and on the ME one, nothing shows up at all!

Did you share anything yet?

Right click on folder -> Security and Sharing ?

yep

So you DO have shared folders, they are using the same workground NAME, and you still don't see the other computer?

Are you sure? :\

Absolutely sure, XP sees other pc, but cant access it, ME doesnt see anything, but when i turn on teh ME one, it asks me to logon, but i havnt created an account to logon with

How do you mean can't access?

Oh, login? Hmm.. I have faced this problem, go to Control Panel -> Users accounts and give your current account a password, then use the username/password you use for Windows.

So, i log in on ME with my XP username and pass, if so, it didn't work, it said wrong pass

No, I mean, when you are trying to enter the computer, and it asks you for your username/password, use the one you use on the OTHER computer, ex: use your ME pass when you are trying to login from XP to ME.

i doesnt ask me to enter a password when i try to open it on XP, and i dont hav an ME pass anyway

You need to have a user with the exact same name and password on BOTH computers, and you need to turn off Simple File Sharing in Folder Options > View.

Done, and STILL doesnt work

EDIT : My pc doesnt have that simple file sharing option, maybe its cos ive got home edition

then enable the guest account on windows xp, and create an account named Guest with no password on windows ME

I've this same problem wich has no answer (http://shoutbox.menthix.net/showthread.php?tid=46717). Is this the only way? setting up the same user/pass on the other computers? Because I organize lan parties and it would be pretty tired/annoying setting up all of them .

EDIT: Exactly that's the same problem for me!
EDIT2: Screenshot:


I've tried everything! I have 2 networks adapters, and IPX protocol also installed. I put TCP/IP as my default protocol also.

Say if im logged in on Owner on XP and Guest on me, will it work, or do i need to be logged in on guest on xp
