Overview
13. A Logon window will appear, requiring you to enter a User name and
Password. Make up a user name and password (if you haven’t already) and
click the OK button. Do not click the Cancel button or press the Escape
key. Clicking either of these buttons will prevent you from logging into the
network. If the logon does not appear or if it does not allow you to log on,
refer to the Troubleshooting section.
14. Once you are at the Windows Millennium desktop, double-click the My
Network Places icon, the Entire Network icon, and then the Your
WorkGroup icon. You should see one icon for the entire network and the
names of the other PCs on the network.
• If you can see your computer along with all the other computers on
the network in Network Neighborhood, then the Windows
Millennium network configuration is complete. Continue with
Sharing Your Files and Printers in the Appendix if you want your PC’s
data or printer to be available to others on the network. You may stop
here, however, if you wish to configure File and Printer Sharing at a
later time.
Refer to the Troubleshooting section if:
• You don't see anything at all in Entire Network and have pressed the F5
key on your keyboard a few times to refresh the screen.
• You only see your own computer in Entire Network.
•You see all computers on the network except yours and have tried press-
ing the F5 key a few times.
• You only see computers that are running the same operating system as
you and you don’t see any others.
