I have two computers, one is Win2000, and another is WinME, I've set up a network, and the network works fine (i can use ICS, and can see each computer in network neighborhood), and in my Win2000 computer, I can access the files in WinME, but in WinME, i can't get into my Win2000 computer, it is asking me the passowrd, how can i set up an account for WinME, so in WinME, i can access the Win2000 computer and share the files, and printers?

Thanks!

Set up a User account on the Win2K box using the computer name and password of the ME box. Then set your permissions when you share them.

do i create account here? Control Panel -> Users and Passwords

Another method, which may be perfectly suitable for your two-machine LAN, assuming security is not an issue, is to goto Control Panel>Users & Passwords>Advanced>Advanced and click on Users in the left pane, right click on Guest>Properties, and uncheck the boxes, "User cannot change password," and "Account is Disabled."

machine, but i didn't see anything there, i've already set the printer to
share in Win2000, but still can't see it from WinME... how do i set the
security for the printer, in that tab, i saw Administrators, CREATOR OWNER,
Everyone, and Power Users, do i need to add that account in. i've set the
WinME account as a power user.

Sorry bud, by PPTP is not my strong suit. I am forwarding this thread to a web admin friend on mine who it just so happens to be working on a similar setup for his company. If he tells me anything, I will post it.
