hi tacker,
you can always install a private lan-only WASTE profile on each machine and set your share parameters as if you were on an external waste mesh. you'll see speeds of 150-400KBS. if that's not fast enough use SOULSEEK, but make sure your shares are available only for hotlisted users, then cross-hotlist each pc on the network. you'll get double the speeds. it's really fast, like 5 secs per song.
doing this is quicker to set-up and possibly more secure than the normal windows-style network configurations but the real power is in the effortless transfers between different windows operating systems, like 98, ME, XP and so forth (fat 32 & ntfs). there just aren't any os conflicts this way.
