Wonderful WinME Networking with NT4/Win2000

I am unable to get a WinMe system to network with my
existing win NT4 & Win2000 systems. the units was working
fine with Win98 and then was upgraded to WinME. The system
was then upgrade via Windows Update to be current. The
NT/2K systems can be pinged fine. As well the ME box can
access the Internet via the router they are all connected
to. I have verified the VnetBIOS.vxd file is there and the
registery is as recommended. I have also checked typical
things like workgroup names, etc. My ME laptop hooks up to
teh network fine so I know it can be made to work. Any
specific suggestions would be appreciated. I have searched
a number of sites and not found anything that will help.

An often occurring and unwanted side effect of upgrading is a setting
of the dreaded autologon value which means you are not connected to
your LAN but other things (like Internet access may well work okay)

If this "autologon" value exists then delete it.
