You need to give a LOT more detail ..............

Size of network ?
Budget ?
WiFi or wired ?
OS's ? [all the same or mixed, it doesn't matter, we still need to know what]
Your level of expertise ?
peer to peer / server client ?

any other details you feel might help, all are appreciated.

And welcome to AO.
