XP can't see ME but can ping it

Jrc384k
I have my network set up flawlessly under Windows ME - Windows ME under TCP/IP. I just recently installed XP (RC2) (upgraded my dual boot) and now I can't access other computers on the LAN. They can be pinged but not accessed.

HELLBRINGER
I have bought a few products from Netgear only to find out they are pieces of sh1t and their drivers suck and don't work or barely work. The only advanted of some of their NICs is they are pretty fast, thats if you can get the damn things to work in the first place.

Binding dual ethernet cards

brainsoft
I want to open two connection between the two computers in my room. Each machine has 2 10mbps cards in it, one card from each is already part of the household domain. I want to increase the transfer speed the 2 comps, but can't find a second 100mbps card, so I'm using a 10/100 and a 10 for the second connection.
