Please start by describing the physical layout of your LAN - what devices are
connected to each other, relative physical location of each device, makes and
models of network equipment too.

Here are a few websites with tutorials on networking that you might want to
browse:

Next, provide ipconfig information for each computer.
Start - Run - "cmd". Type "ipconfig /all >c:\ipconfig.txt" into the command
window - Open c:\ipconfig.txt in Notepad, make sure that Format - Word Wrap is
NOT checked!, copy and paste entire contents into your next post. Identify
operating system (by name, version, and SP level) with each ipconfig listing.
