How to setup home or peer-to-peer network

If all of the computers in a peer-to-peer workgroup don't have a common
networking protocol, a common workgroup, and common user names and
passwords, the computers may experience a difficulty to communicate with
other computers that are running Windows 2000, Microsoft Windows 95, or
Microsoft Windows 98. To resolve this issue, configure the computers by
ensuring that they have a common networking protocol (TCP/IP), a common
workgroup, and common user names and passwords. Also make sure enable File
and Printer Sharing is installed.

(note using the current windows firewall will stop your
network from working. You need to get a 3rd party firewall
such as zone alarm or nortons internet security and make
sure you check the firewall settings to configure the
network as well. I know nortons has its own network wizard
that you should run after running the windows wizard to
set the firewall up as well)
