ME host and XP client wont network - help.

I have an ME residential gateway and and two XP computers
When I run network wizard it tells me there is an error
but not what kind. How do I network these computers? The
XP system doesn't accept the ME setup wizard disk. Any
help would be appreciated.

There's no need to run the network wizard on an XP client. Just
configure the local area network connection to obtain an IP address
automatically, and disable the Internet Connection Firewall.
