Thank you all very much. I had the network up and running for a little while before something went terribly wrong in the "Toy Room". The PC is no longer in service. But it's a Compaq, so it wasn't worth much to begin with. Thanks all for your help. Mainly the thing that got me going was setting static IPs, that helped. Though I was still unable to share an internet connection. WinXP in the "Bedroom" still said there was an error after I ran the home networking wizard. So I will post again when I have a Linux box to use as a server.

Now, is there any chance of explanations on something thats...well...thought provoking? Let's say that on one machine, there are 2 hard drives. C: and D:...C: contains Windows and such, and D: is just storage. D: is shared to the entire network, but C: is off limits. How would I access that anyways from a computer within the network? Or, if I had read-only access to the C: drive, how could I get full access? If the access depends on the password, then of course, some sort of password cracker would do the trick, but I'd like to know the inner-workings behind it all, and how to do it manually, without a pre-packaged exe and things of the sort.

Once again, Thank You.
