Connecting Windows Millennium Edition With Windows XP

My brother and I both have computers in are rooms. He has
a computer with Windows Xp and I have Windows ME. We would
like to play a game on two computers but we are unable to
do so because everytime it says that you cannot link
Windows ME and Windows XP. I once saw computer specialests
do it and they had to move a file. Please help me with my
problems... If you understand what I'm even talking about.

Thanks For Your Help...

What exactly does it say? And how are you trying to link them?

Sure, you can link your computers.

First, connect them physically using wired or wireless networking. If
you use wired networking, you can connect them directly to each other
using a crossover Ethernet cable, or you can connect them indirectly
to each other using two regular Ethernet cables and a hub, switch, or
broadband router.

Then, run the Windows XP Network Setup Wizard on both computers. It
will make all of the necessary settings to get them talking to each
other:

If you have more questions after that, please come back and give the
