Space. Some of our users aren't that computer literate. The forum is designed for begginers and advanced people alike. Not all people will understand about domains and such, and these should only be mensioned if the question is about it. Otherwise they are most probably talking about a simplified problem. Im guessing the user wants to set up a very basic form of workgroup sharing.

It would most probs be best to post a very short how to.

Can I just ask if the question asker has any firewalling software installed? When I set up a LAN for my mate who had Norton I found it didnt work with file sharing. After reading the Norton User Manual I found that you were required to add the range of computers to the accept list. This is done with IP Addresses.
