I have one computer running ME on the network of XP
computers, the XP computers can see the ME computer on the
network neighbourhood and can select the ME computer, but
it doesn't show the shared folder on the ME computer. The
ME computer can do everything on the network and share all
the files on the XP computers, any ideas why this would
happen. I've got file and printer sharing running on the
ME computer, so can't be that.

There are quite a few hotfixes for ME networking but you have to
call MS to get them.
Frankly, I think you'd be better off upgrading ME > XP.

Have you tried XP's Network Setup Wizard? Generate a
network setup disk on XP and run it on ME.
