    If your using XP then its easy,,,,,

    Conect each PC together, then run network setup config on all the PC's restart them all and youll have your network...

    Thanks joePC

    If you'd rather have more control over your settings, post a bit more detail e.g.

    How may PCs?
    How are they connected - via a switch/hub, or direct via crossover cable?
    Was your connection working previously?
    Are you sharing an internet connection?

    And anything else you think might be useful.
