XP/2K/ME networking

I'm trying to network together a laptop dual booting ME and 2K Pro and a desktop dual booting ME and XP, when both are in ME I can read the laptop from the desktop but not the other way round. When the desktop XP, nothing whether the laptop is in ME or 2K. I've made sure they're both on the same workgroup name in all systems, I've run network setup wizards in all systems on both machines but still no luck. Basically when I try to access the network on either machine, it tells me the workgroup is not available. I have searched this forum and google and not found any info to date so any help would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks

ok first i dont know much about dule boot but as long as me is on both it shouldent be too difficult but i think ya really look into getting xp on both, its a lot more stable, because i networked my house of 5 comps with in 10 man hours (not all at once) and are ya trying to get them done wirelessly or just with cat-5 wire

Thanks for the reply, the problem is that I'm not looking to use ME on both of them. Ideally I'd be using a combination of XP and 2K. The network is a combination of wireless and cat 5. The wireless goes to the laptop, as you'd expect.

I can't think of a single advantage to having ME anywhere on any system. The single worst operating system Microsoft has ever offered.

My first professional suggestion to a cutomer would be to eliminate ME from all systems and begin troubleshooting from there.

How are your wireless and wired networks interconnected?

Oh...and which version of XP do you have? Does your network involved a windows domain?

Only things that I can think of (off the top of my head) is do you have netbeui (network protocol) installed on your OS's? I think that for some reason you need to have this installed for 2k/xp to communicate with ME (or 98 for that matter). The other thing is that in 2k/XP you need to have file and printer sharing enabled, make sure that you add the network users in on the local machines (so that they can be accessed) and last thing for it to even be found in network neighborhood is to make sure that you have setup a network Share on each system. If I remember correctly, if the OS is not sharing any data/drives/etc, then it will not show up on the network.
Other things to be aware of, if you are running zonealarm or another firewall, make sure that you have configured it to allow access from the computers on the lan (for zone alarm i just set the local ip range to be trusted).

If you want I can try to find out some places where i read these various things.
