ME to XP peer to peer problems... windows protection error

Hi, i am having problems with networking two computers.
one is running me and 1 is running xp.

I am using a belkin usb 10/100 adapter on the ME computer.

when i plug the cable in the xp recognises the connection
at the bottom right of the screen. ME doesnt. I then try
to open workgroups on XP... nothing happens. when i return
to the ME it has a blue screen saying windows protection
error. I don't know what to do... any suggestions?

thank-you

Graham

On ME, un-install the USB adapter in Device Manager, then re-install
it. Downloading and installing the latest ME drivers from the Belkin
web page might help, too.
