There are SO many ways you can do this! I will tell you the simplest cheapest way! You need to make sure all the computers are next to each other! You need to buy a Switch or a Hub (Around $20 from your local electronics store) and some Patch cable (Around $10 for 3m) Once you have all this plug a patch cable into each computer then into the hub! By doing this you are creating a peer-to-peer network! Now that you have done this, Goto Start, Control Panel, And Network Setup Wizard! Follow the Instructions making sure that you set All the Computers to the same workgroup and enabling file and printer sharing! Now right click the Folder of your documents and click Sharing! Enable this and then Go to any of the computers and look in My Network Places and it should be there! This is a basic cheap way to connect computers together! There are many ways like Bluetooth, Infa-Red, Wi-Fi, Serial Cable and even Phone Cable! But these can be slow and expensive! A Peer-to-peer network is the fastest
