17902	2001-08-31 14:26:00	I've been attempting to set up a simple network connection between a Gateway laptop running ME and a desktop running W98. The thing works fine but only from the desktop to the laptop and not in the other direction, The network card in the desktop works OK in a second desktop, and a 2nd network card does exactly the same. Device manager doesn't report any conflicts . I've reinstalled everything in all sorts of different orders, but can't get any improvements. Can anyone come up with any suggestions?	Guest (0)

Another thing that does it is firewall settings. If you have a firewall on the ME machine disable it to see then set the permissions in the local settings for the firewall if that proves to be the reason. I have regular gaming Lans at home and the only machines that cause regular problems run ME. Usually if the above 2 reasons are not present I find that removing the TCP/IP under the network properties then reinstalling it can usually fix it.	Guest (0)
