What do you mean by "network", we'll start with that, then work on what kind of computers you have...

My Computer--->Control Panel--->Network

File and Print Sharing...-->Check I want to be able to give others access to my files

Right click on what you want them to be able to access and click on Sharing

Ta-da

That should work...

Question:  Are you trying to setup a LAN or trying to connect your machine to a LAN that is already set up?

Check that both machines are in the same workgroup.

Try searching for the other computer.

Also, make sure that you have the necessary protocols installed. (ie: TCP/IP and NetBEUI)

"...The quintessential quality of our age is that of dreams coming true. Just think of it. For centuries we have dreamt of flying; recently we made that come true: we have always hankered for speed; now we have speeds greater than we can stand: we wanted to speak to far parts of the Earth; we can: we wanted to explore the sea bottom; we have: and so  on, and so on: and, too, we wanted the power to smash our enemies utterly; we have it. If we had truly wanted peace, we should have had that as well. But true peace has never been one of the genuine dreams - we have got little further than preaching against war in order to appease our consciences. The truly wishful dreams, the many-minded dreams are now irresistible - they become facts." - 'The Outward Urge' by John Wyndham

"The very essence of tolerance rests on the fact that we have to be intolerant of intolerance. Stretching right back to Kant, through the Frankfurt School and up to today, liberalism means that we can do anything we like as long as we don't hurt others. This means that if we are tolerant of others' intolerance - especially when that intolerance is a call for genocide - then all we are doing is allowing that intolerance to flourish, and allowing the violence that will spring from that intolerance to continue unabated." - Bren Carlill

Um, this is a dumb question, but do you have an ethernet hub?

Most likely, so next would be is file sharing enabled on both computers.  Also, did you manually assign IP addresses(192.168.0.1, 192.168.0.2, etc) to your LAN computers.  the server should be the first one.  The netmask should be 255.255.255.000.  I have the same type of configuration if you need more help.

Umm....you don't need to be a hacker to get someone's IP dolt.    For example, if you're in IRC all someone has to do is /whois you.

While we're on this subject, unless you're some kind of paranoid tuit scared to get online, thats not going to matter.  Just run a firewall (or get a Linksys router which has a firewall built-in).  Its not hacker-proof (name one thing that is, besides somethign totally disconnected from the world) but atleast you'll be reasonably safe.

It prolly is the cable.  Take an ohm meter to each pin and check to be sure.  If you don't get "OL" (zero load) then the cable is bad.
