Poor Dutch. Go to my site <a href="http://again.at/speccys-bins" target="_blank">HERE</a> Under Appz V1 you will find Sygate Home Network. Download this and just let it do it all for you. Worked a treat for me.

qwerty, you don't have a firewall running do you ? That was one of my many problems.
Jock69er, to start off you need two nics and a cross-wired network cable (cat5) that is if you just want to connect two pc's directly together.
When you have that then we can continue.

Make sure that each machine is on the same workgroup and that they all have unique names.
Also check the ip address is something like 169,254.0.* where * is a unique number on each machine and they all sould have a subnet of 255.255.0.0
I have not played with hubs etc but I believe that you need to setup a gateway as well.
Hopefully this post will attract the attention of someone who knows a bit more, but please keep on this thread. (our goal is ten pages)
