I'm trying to connect to other computers through my
school's network. Everytime I double click on "Entire
Network" it tells me that "windows is unable to connect to
the network...."
I've tried every suggestion that I could find on the
microsoft help site, what can I do to gain access to the
rest of the network?

Ask the network administrator if it's possible?

A common reason for inability to browse the network is that the user
isn't logged on. Is there a logon prompt when Windows Me starts? If
so, don't cancel it. Complete the logon by entering a user name and,
optionally, a password. If there's no logon prompt, click Start | Log
Off and log back on. If that makes network browsing work properly,
the most likely fix is to go to this registry key:

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Microsoft\Windows\Curr entVersion\
Network\Real Mode Net

and delete the value named "AutoLogon", as shown here:
