Ok...Here is my delemia: I'm setting up a 5 station peer to peer network. Using an Asante high speed router (4 port witha a WAN connection), and a small 4 port hub. Have AT&T@ home cable internet service connected. All stations will ping each other just fine. Router pings fine. Internet works fine from any station. Network neighborhood will not work on ANY station!! Tried different protocols. all sharing turned on...nothing works! Stations that I managed to get working one day, will not work the next. At wits end..anybody ever see this before?? HELP!!

Things to check......
Ensure you have TCP/IP installed and configured correctly. IP addresses should be a non-routable (over the internet) number. I prefer the class C as follows
PC #1: 192.168.0.1
PC #2: 192.168.0.2 etc
Subnet Mask: 255.255.255.0
Default Gateway: Address of your router/hub or PC # 192.168.0.1
DNS: use the DNS address your ISP uses (call them, they'll tell you what they use)
Ensure that all machines have the same workgroup name. In a small environment I just leave the default "Workgroup" in there. Replication of PC names into the Network Neighbourhood can take a bit of time so if they don't show up immediately don't worry. Try to "Find" a particular PC and see if you can't map a network drive to it that way. If none of this works....let me know we'll look at a few other things.

This may be a little late in replying but I have had the same problems myself. I resolved it by "releasing" the leased IP address and "renewing" it with 'winipcfg' run from the command line (START > RUN > winipcfg). It can also be done from a C prompt using 'ipconfig' using switches
