disable firewall and u should be able to see the computers on the local network from network neighborhood. it depends upon how your local network is configured actually. i sometime myself is unable to access it.

download languard lan net scanner.open it > put in your ip range 10.12.172.1 - 10.12.172.255this will show you all the comps on your lan , including loads of info , & their shared drives if any.do a netsend * so that everyone in your workgroup knows u wanna swap stuff , if someone opposite is intellignet enough to send you a net send back , your in luck.download & run a ftp server , such as serv-u , for swapping large files over lan.you wanted to connect to users on your lan . connect to ? as in what ? transfer files ?

Sorry I'm feeling really cynical right now.

sending a netsend to * is something i would not recommend.

Netsend can only be recieved on windows NT based systems (2000/XP) which have enabled the messenger service, na?

Don't know about that, but I believe a firewall can take care of incoming net send messages
