I am trying to set up a network on three computers. I
have successfully shared the internet but have no idea as
to how I could share files, folders, web addresses etc.
Please help.

Set all computers to the same workgroup, and then
right-mouse click the folders you want to share and select
sharing. The shared folders will appear initially in My
Network Places/Entire Network/MS Windows Network/your
workgroup.

On old Windows 9x you also need to enable File and Printer
sharing on the Network properties.

Be aware that software firewalls (and ICF) may block
file/printer sharing.
