Mike is right TCP/IP is alot easier to work with.
Also make sure all the comps are in the same workgroup that should speed up seek
times over the network.
Even if you can't see all the comps in the netowrk neighborhood you should still
be able to do a find for the computer name and be able to access it.
Give each comp a IP of 192.168.1.xxx
xxx can be any number between 1-254 each comp gets its own number there.
Set the subnet mask for each comp 255.255.255.0
Don't worry about the gateway or DNS unless you are routing all the comps through
a router for internet connection.
If you are then the Gateway would be the routers IP.
and the DNS would be the
IP numbers of the nameservers for your ISP or proxy server.
I hope this helps
