Sounds like an inept IT support team. EXCEL has excellent sharing 
capabilities if it is turned on. We use it all the time at work.
I have built several wireless systems and not had a problem yet. At one
point at home I had three machines talking and they were XP on my
laptop, 2000 on the desktop and 98SE on my wife's machine.
I've built several too. That is the only time I have had a problem and I
don't know why. Possibly one of the cards was defective; or perhaps it was
the drivers, or perhaps it was a conflict with something else on the system.
One defective component in a network will bring the whole thing down. We 
had to sort out a multi user system which directed mail to the wrong 
inbox and constantly hung when accessing files. It turned out to be a 
defective switch on one of the nodes.  Of course the users blamed the 
software.
