could this be the problem? any known fix or link to a fix for this?
both computers are using win me os

Make sure your protocols match. Specfically, add any to the one computer that does not see the
network properly.

Three words: you need NetBEUI.

Well if he's setting it up to play games I'd say those words are you need tcp/ip, if some older games then you need ipx.

 

[Poontos]

His network places should only work if he has NetBEUI and File and Printer Sharing installed. TCP/IP is pretty standard, especially if he is sharing an Internet connection.

But, since he hasn`t given much more detail on what protocols are installed...
