Since you don't say which version(s) of Windows are involved or exactly what problems you are having, it is difficult to give detailed help. Try following the tutorials at http://www.homenethelp.com Using the wizards, if you answer one question wrong, then it will mess up the network. The tutorials should help guide you through the manual setup. Since you are not connected to a dhcp server, you will need to specify the IP addresses of each computer. You should use 192.168.1.1 for one of the computers and 192.168.1.2 for the other one. Both should have a subnet mask of 255.255.255.0
