Windows ME/98 Communications on Home Network 2

[bundyld]

Hello all,

One of my housemates is running windows ME and the rest of us are running either 98/2000. The problem is that everybody can see each other on the network accept the one running ME. No one can see him, or likewise, He can't see anyone else. Is there a fix for this? and if so, could you explain it?

Thank You,
Lance

P.S. We are also running road runner and that works for everyone.

Unfortunitly That has all been checked and all is good on the above. I don't know what is going on, other than some program blocking it. Thanks for the help though.

In the network settings, are the workgroup names all the same? Are you able to go to a Win98 machine, click Start|Run, and type \\CN where CN is the computer name of the WinME box, and hit OK to pull up shared directories?
