Hi All,

I am sharing my DSL thro Linksys cable/DSL Router. I am running my two PCs on WinME and Laptop on Win2000. I can share my internet without any problem.

I couldnt share my files, printers etc. I couldnt be able to see each other from any system.

Can any one help me,how shall I network and share my resources?

Thanks..

:confused:

For seeing each other in My Network Places, make sure the "Workgroup" is the same on all computers.

For letting the ME machine access shares on the Win2K boxes, you must create an account each Win2K box...that matches how you log onto the WinME machine. Meaning, your username, and password. Then on the shares on the Win2K boxes, add that account to "shared to".

Take a peek here for some tips:
