Yes, they are. I've had networks of mixed MSFT OSes; Windows 98SE, Windows
ME, Windows 2000, and Windows XP on various networks without problems.

I have worked with the mixed networks on other people's networks, but not
on my own. I am not 100% sure of how the Win2K/XP passwords work, but I was
able to see my Windows ME computer from my brother-in-law's Windows 2000
computer last February, as well the other way around.

Last February's network only had password on the access to Windows 2000.
Once a user logged into an account on Windows 2000 all Windows ME shares
were visible to the Windows 2000 user, and vice versa. Windows ME shares
are password protected, so I needed to use a password to access them. I did
not need passwords to access the Windows 2000 shares; but that was a matter
of the manner in which my brother-in-law had configured his computer.
Network share passwords are different from system login passwords.
