I did some checking for you it is possible to access an NTFS share from a 9x machine but difficult, procedure below only works on professional versions of xp and vista...
- On the Vista machine go to folder options then the view tab
- Disable Simple File Sharing
- Disable Simple File Sharing
- On the ME machine go to network neighborhood and install the protocol "NetBooie"
- Enable File and Printer Sharing on the ME machine
- On the Vista Machine right clink on the folder to share click properties
- Under Sharing Tab enable and name the share....
- Under the Security tab add the group "Users" to the list box by clicking the add button.
- If simple file sharing is still enabled there will be no security tab! It must be disabled first.
- Click on "Users" in the list and then check every box under permissions and then click apply.
- Click the "advanced" button in the security tab in the properties dialog and check the "reset permission on all child objects...." check box and click OK.
- Under Sharing Tab enable and name the share....
- enable simple file sharing on Vista
- Network neighborhood should be happy now.... :)
