Anyone in this group good at networking. Problem is with SE & ME. both
machines can browse the net, the router sees both, and if I play with browse
master and LM announce I can get the ME to see SE and browse files, but not
the other way around. I've been working on it for a few days searching the
net and haven't found any help.
And no replies in the networking group for these systems.

A couple of weeks ago I transferred some of the needed files via a cat5
without trouble. But I missed some and moved a known good wireless card to
the ME box to get the other needed files.

Sounds like a simple configuration problem. Strongly suggest you
follow Carey Holzman's suggestion at the following site....it will
probably take you 10 minutes to find the culprit.

Hope this helps

on the machine that is NOT visible to the other
check the settings for sharing in 'my computer' right click a drive and
there should be a sharing option, If it is there check it to see if it is
enabled. If it isnt there goto control panel, networks and add 'file sharing
for microsoft networks'

No, I am not you! Anyway, I have two Windows ME computers on a LAN. I have
never needed to play with the LM Announce settings. Just left them set to,
"No"; I believe that is the default.

I have one computer set to "Disabled", and the other set to "Enabled" for
the Browse Master settings. Default for both was "Automatic"; but I run a
server on one of the computers, which is powered on more than the other. I
figured that setting Browser Master to "Enabled" on the computer with the
server, and "Disabled" on the other would ensure that the computer with the
server was always the Browse Master.

Thanks very much for that link. I'll work through that site as time allows
and post back.
BTW, being reminded of this issue after visiting that site. Why is it that
only XP supports the newest level of wireless security? With all of the
associated trouble, why hasn't MS released an update to plug-in to all OS's?
Surely it can't be that difficult!

Norman,

The simple answer is that Win 98 and Win Me are both out of support other
than for critical vulnerabilities
(http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx?scid=fh;EN-US;LifeAn1).

Double thanks Dan and to Carey. It seems I've got it working. I had read
where tcp/ip was being troublesome and it was better to use netbeui or
ipx/spx for protocols. I think that article suggested netbeui as the better,
but I had no idea about what might be required besides just loading them.
When time permits, I might just try netbeui in place of ipx/spx. think it
was supposed to be faster, and then somewhere else netbeui was recommended
over tcp/ip for security reasons.
I'll try to post back with updates or maybe contact Carey. She seems to know
what she is doing.

TCP/IP is the most supported ('cuz the Internet runs on it); you'd have
to check but I think some other protocols are better in some respects
for technical reasons.
