You can try to use the Network and Internet settings / wizard under Control Panel.

It can be difficult to netowrk Vista and other versions of Windows.

HERE (http://help.lockergnome.com/windows2/Windows-PC-Vista-laptop--ftopict484708.html) is some background information about Vista and Windows ME.
