I want to try accessing a network share from Windows ME, but I can't figure out how to enable the network login dialog to appear when my computer starts up to enter my credentials.

I have "Client for Microsoft Networks" as the Primary Network Login and the Client for Microsoft Networks component is installed. I even tried uninstalling and reinstalling this component, but no login prompt appeared after reboot.

Why am I not seeing this login prompt?

I found that it was necessary to add either an IPX or NetBEUI protocol for it to show up. Weird.

Yah, it's MS NT Domain thing I think so only does it for their own protocols. I are not terribly expert on all that though, I try reading up and my brain goes to sleep in the intro when it's describing what a network is and OSI white and the seven dwarves layers ... then it wakes up in the middle of a hell of a lot of back slashes and outlook server shit and domain controllers and I can never find the bit in the middle where it seems to switch from basic network theory to what the hell Microsoft actually does.
