Attached below is my original post and the help I have
received so far but I am still having problems. I can now
transfer files between two of my computers (XP and ME)
but it is one way. And I still can't share internet. Any
more suggestions??

I really appreciate all the help!! Thanks

PROBLEM SO FAR:

Ok, on my main computer and one of my other computers
(ME) I checked my Local area setting. Neither are set up
for firewall (they are disabled). my third computer
doesn't have its Local Area connection in either area? :(

All three computer have files and printers set on sharing
via the folders and via the local connection on the two
working computers. I have also changed the LMHOST and
NioBits on them. workgroup name is all the same and the
computer names unique.

how do I change passwords. None have ever been set up for
passwords before so don't know anything about this step.

Ok I can now share files via my second computer but not
internet. My main computer still can't access either
directly. and of course my third still isn't working at
all but it might be because I can't find my Local
Connection any more?!

But I am getting there!!! lol

Any more advice?

Thanks For all the help!
