We set the Mac to TCP/IP and selected internal ethernet. In the
Users I identified the laptop by name as a user and turned on Windows
file sharing. Have I missed something?
The laptop was being operated by my son so I can't answer what
settings he used. He uses it in his own house linked to an old PC
and a PC running XP.
If you can dig up the settings required on Windows that would be great.

I have Mac with 10.2 connecting ok with Windows 98 via ethernet so
you should be able to do it with out any problems.
Not knowing what your configurations are on each Machine it is hard
to answer why you can't get it to work.
Are you familiar with what basic configurations are required for
your Windows machine, if not I could dig up some details and send
them to you. From memory the Help section on your Mac gives some
details of how to go about it.

I have be trying to link my iMac running OSX10.2 to a laptop running
Windows Me using a crossover ethernet cable and have come to the
conclusion that the highly promoted simple connectivity of OSX 10.2
only works if one is connecting to a PC that is running on XP. Is
this conclusion accurate?
If so, can I use the cross-over ethernet cable configuration to link
to the Window Me laptop in some way that doesn't involve using the
internet or a significant outlay on new software?
Suggestions please.
