Networking ME to a Windows 2000 network

I'm trying to get a Win ME computer to connect to a Win
2000 peer to peer network. I can see the Win ME computer
from the Win 2000 computers, but not vice-versa. Also
there is no internet connectivity from the Win ME
computer. The network shares an internet connection.

Never mind, i got the computer to see and be seen on the
network. Now however, i can't get it to use a network
printer. The printer is attached to a win2000 maching
with file & print sharing enabled, no password. The win
ME machine can see it, but is requiring a password to
connect to it when i use the add printer wizard. No one
on the network uses a password, so i don't know what to do.

On the Windows 2000 computer, add a user with the same name (and password,
if one is used) that you start up your Windows Me computer with.

Richard, thank you so much. As soon as I read your reply
I realized the logic in it, but I probably woulndn't have
thought of it. Works like a charm now.
