Did you manually set up the IP and Subnet addresses, or do you have a DHCP
providing them for you.

Do you have network discovery turned on, or can you connect to a computer by
typing in the UNC in explorer?

Bin it and download `network magic`

I managed to set up the office 3 pc network (2XP and 1 Vista) in under
15mins as well and a 3 pc network at home in less than 30 mins all running
xp.


Even if you buy the software about 20 quid I think it will be money well
spent...
