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.
