AFAIK you do not have to be connected to the net, just to the other machine. I'd try playing around with permissions, and PMing mandaren if I am correct. |

| It still sounds like you are not set up as administrator on the XP machine. I don't know if you have to be connected to the internet. I'll look around and see if I can find any info. |

  I dont know what it is guys.? i been in the ip config. and in the network area and it keeps telling me i dont have permission on this xp to open the connection to the win me it has a icon for it in the network area but i cant get the icon for the winxp to show up in the win me net work area and that win me keeps loosing the network for some reason? i have them both on right now set up to the same users on each, this winxp has the net work connection below and it is enabled and working but the other computer just wont connect for some dang reason it just seems to be a big pain in the trying to make it talk to the network let alone this computer. do i need to be connected to the internet to use the local network??  |

| maybe your shares are "0711" and only letting someone with an account "read, write and exex.".. you not loggin in with a user/pass if leaving you with "1" which is only read acess. This is my experience with it on linux, Im sure its diff on windows. |

| Have you looked under services applications? |

did not see anything but there is a run as? in the right click menu but that dont help this is the admin board...  maybe if i just take a hammer to it like all machines need every now and then it might work  |

| Have you gone to settings>control>administative tools>computer management and looked around there? There has to be something to give you permission to change settings as the administrator. I think in XP Pro there is a power user function. I have XP Home and didn't see that option. |

yep ya guessd right.  |

| Guess you are still trying to figure it out? |

| ok thats an idea i have not tried yet so hope it works? to quote a waylon jennings song. " This Is Getting Funny, ( but there aint nobody laughing)" |

| Another problem may be with XP's built-in filesharing. You may need to insure that you have a user account with the same username and password on both machines, I know that's happened to me before... That may help get rid of the Permissions thing. Good Luck |

| I'm not sure how to do what you are trying, but it sounds as if it has to do with administrative rights. I think on XP, you have to be signed in as administrator to do networking. Someone else here may have some experience with networking 2 pcs. I've never had the need to do this. |
