O.P. Networking problem
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

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? :\

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.

RE: Networking problem
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.
