Insufficient information. At what part of creating a LAN are you?

Not nearly enough information.

What OS are you using? Check your firewalls. Did you use the Network Setup Wizard? How is your network setup...wired, wireless, a combination of both? Is there a router in this picture?

Moving data across dial-up is slow enough, sharing the connection will reduce it to glacial speed.

Get back to us. 8)

I have a feeling that this person has to do a certain homework assignment.

Cable and Dial-up?
