windows me and 2000

I am so frustrated, if someone can help me PLEASE! I have
a computer that was donated that runs ME and a high speed
internet connection. I am in a small office and the other
two computers run Windows 2000. I can't get them to
network together. I don't have a network that all the
computers run on and all I want is to do is share the
internet connection. The Home Networking Wizard only
works with Win95/98 and doesn't offer anything for ME.
Microsoft said they would charge 245.00 to offer support
and I doubt anything would even get done. Can someone
please help me, I am about to throw the computer out the
window. I would really appreciate it!

The key to Windows networking is to use the same, single protocol for
File and Printer Sharing on all computers. Unless you have a specific
reason for using a different protocol, use TCP/IP. Configure the
TCP/IP properties on each computer to obtain an IP address
automatically, and remove all other protocols (NetBEUI, IPX/SPX).

This web site has details for each operating system:
