I have been all morning trying to set up a home network
between my wife's computer and mine. I ran the networking
setup wizard on my computer (with XP Pro), and running
setup on my wife's computer (with Millinium), from a
floppy disc created on my computer, I still could not
access either one from the other. I then discovered that
my computer was in a different workgroup than my wife's,
so I changed the work group name on my computer to be the
same as my wife's. When I do, it initially shows the name
change; but when I restart my computer to get the changes
to take effect, it goes back to the original work group.
I have tried several times to make the change, but each
time it changes back. Any one have an idea how I can get
the change to take effect and STAY changed?
 
Remove the Workgroup from BOTH machines and reboot them both.

Create the Workgroup on your XP machine and then join the Workgroup from the
ME box.
