ok I have a computer that has windows ME (witch is conectedto the internet by cable) I just got a labtop and have a card that plugs into the side(this computer has windows XP) And i have just set up a linksys broadband router so i could conect to the internet on the labtop and it works. I was wondering if i coud have some pics. or files on the ME computer that could be open by the XP computer

Sure,on the ME machine, if you have file and print sharing enabled under Network Neighborhood, you can right click on a folder (like My Pictures) and select sharing.
