So, under start>settings>network connections>local area connections, and under properties, what settings do i need to enable/install? currently i have client for microsft windows, file and printer sharing, and internet protocol (tcp/ip) enabled. These settings work fine on my home network, but not on the one i am trying to set up at work. I created a work group, turned on file sharing on the desired folders and ran the network wizard all to no avail. My network config. is as follows.
5 p.c.'s (no server), hooked up to a netopia modem/router that is both hard wire and wireless. Since it only has 4 ports the wireless function comes in handy! ITS driving me NUTTS!

Check the netopia firewall (most of them have one built in) check to see if it is setup to allow a local network. Then check the firewall settings on each machine to be sure they allow a local network. That would be my best guess. To be sure you can turn off the firewalls and see if it works then reconfigure the firewalls and turn them back on.

You must buy ethernet card and install the ethernet protocol to create LAN.
