Win ME connect to Win NT - NetBUI did it, mods can now move thread

[dullard]

Sorry for posting this here, but I need a quick answer. Is there a way to connect a Win ME computer with a Win NT computer with a crossover cable? If so, do you have any hints on how to get it to work?

Edit: Ok I finally got it. Thanks. It was NetBUI that was needed - but the key is that it had to be set to default. They both had it but without it as default, it wouldn't work. Thanks. And we got it in before the Mods killed the thread too.

Should just be able to plug the cable in 🙂

Although this is windows ME we're talking about...

Make sure they're in the same workgroup and have file and print sharing turned on on the ME box.

Yes, easiest protocal to use would be NetBUI.

I plugged in the cable and ran the network wizzard on the ME machine. When clicking on My Network Places then Entire Network on the ME machine it says: unable to browse the network. What did I do wrong? I've never used ME before.

install netbeui on both machines. dont bother with the horrible me wizards.

C'mon man. NetBEUI? Just quickly assign static IP addresses in TCP/IP, change workgroups, share out entire hard drive(s) and start copying. Takes 5 mintues max, including reboot time and XP shouldn't even have to reboot to do all that. Just remember to shut off sharing once you're done.
