The workgroup name, completely unimportant, it just a name ;-) >>Next i tried setting up tcp/ip from the control panel (using ip >>192.168.0.44, mask >>255.255.255.0 and gateway 192.168.0.1 (net connected pc)) > >A little unclear what you mean here. Do you have the Windows machine >configured as a gateway? Yes. > If so, what are you using, Internet >Connection Sharing? and yes. and at this stage i would expect to be able to ping the mac from the pc "ping 192.168.0.44" but i can't this is why i don;t think the network is even working at this stage! i would also expect to be able to say run an ftp server locally on the pc and transfer files that way (I have done this before, but to a linux machine) >>I then tried installing dave, but it seems to freeze at the workgroup >setting, >>i guess this mean it can't see the network? > >DAVE did the same thing to me.

Works fine on my networked windows machines!
