I have an existing network with 4 computers running ME,
but when I upgraded one of the computer to 2000, the
computer with 2000 can access other 3 computers, but the
other 3 computers can't access the one with Windows 2000,
it kept asking for a password when I try to map a network
path. But I didn't even set a password in the first
place. I hope someone can help me on this one. Thank you.
 
Make sure that all computers are in the same workgroup and that all
ME-accounts exist on the W2k. Also enable Netbios over TCP/IP in the nics.
Did you give static IP's to all your computers? Is the subnetmask the same?

or just enable the guest account, (right click on my computer --> manage (or
something like this, my win2k is german ;-)) --> users --> there enable the
guest accountby doubleclicking on it und unchecking the this account is
disabled box) now the me-computers should access your 2k computer, if it
keeops asking for a password, logon as guest with no password. this is the
way if you want everyone to access your pc, if you want just a fwew pcs to
access you must register them in the same tab with the username they logon
on their pcs, like marina described
