16) Click Tools, click Folder Options and click on the View tab. Make sure that 'Automatically search for

network folders and printers' IS checked. If it is not, select it and click Apply. Next, click OK.

17) Close all windows.

18) Click Start, click Run and type REGEDIT and hit enter.

19) Click the "+" symbol next to Hkey_Current_User, click the "+" symbol next to Software, click the "+"

symbol next to Microsoft, click the "+" symbol next to Windows, click the "+" symbol next to Current

Version, click the "+" symbol next to Explorer, click the "+" symbol next to NetCrawl and then click on the

yellow folder next to Printers.

20) Select each item listed in the window to the right, by clicking once on it, and then press the delete

button. DO NOT REMOVE THE FIRST ITEM LABELED "(DEFAULT) Value Not Set". Repeat this

process until the window on the right is empty except for "(Default) value not set".

21) Next, just below the yellow 'Printers' folder, you should see another yellow folder labeled "Shares",

click once on the yellow folder. Repeat the same process used in step 20.

22) Click Registry (at the top of the window) and Click Exit.

The network should now work. If it does not, see the common problems and their resolutions listed below.

TIP #2: NetBEUI and/or IPX/SPX are not in the list of network protocols available

1) Click Start, click Run, type MSCONFIG (hit enter)

2) Click the button labeled "Extract File."

3) For the name of the file you want to restore, type NETBW.INF.

4) Restore from your Windows Millennium CD (if your CD is your D: drive, type: D:\WIN9X).

5) Save File In: C:\WINDOWS\INF

6) Once the file is restored, repeat this process with NETTRANS.INF (during Step 3), and then once more

with RPCLTC5.DLL (during Step 3), only extract this last file to C:\WINDOWS\SYSTEM (during Step 5).

7) Back in your network properties, click Add, click Protocol, click Add, click the Have Disk button, click

the Browse button, go to C:\Windows\Inf and on the left you should see NETTRANS.INF, click once on it

and click OK. NetBEUI and/or IPX/SPX should now be listed as available protocol options in your

network properties.

8) This information is now covered in a Microsoft KnowledgeBase article:

TIP #3: If you double-click on My Network Places, and then double-click on Entire Network and receive

the error "Cannot browse network", do the following steps:

1) Microsoft has acknowledged there is a potential problem with Windows Me attempting to contact the

master browser for the workgroup over one protocol, instead of attempting to contact the master browser

over both protocols. They have provided a 'patch' for this, but you must contact their technical support to

receive it. Please see this Microsoft KnowledgeBase article:

http://support.microsoft.com/support/kb/articles/Q284/0/84.ASP

2) There is, however, an alternative to this support patch. On the computer that will be on most often, in it's

Control Panel, double-click the Network icon, double-click File and Printer Sharing for Microsoft

Networks, and where it says Browse Master, set it to enabled.

3) On all the other PC's on the network, set the above setting to DISABLED, so that only ONE PC is

running with Browse Master ENABLED.

TIP #4: If you are getting a SCRIPT ERROR when you double-click My Network Places:

1) You must have the Microsoft utility 'Tweak UI' installed and configured it to replace the first icon that

appears on the desktop. Please see this KnowledgeBase article:

http://support.microsoft.com/support/kb/articles/Q190/6/43.ASP

2) Change this option back to its default setting, which should be My Documents.

TIP #5: If you can see the workgroup listed in My Network Places, but after double-clicking it, you see an

empty window:

1) Apply the same steps as in Tip #3 or.
