But u ARE connected to the LAN allowing inernet con sharing etc ?

just not samba file sharing through work groups...
I gave up on this ages ago.. just run a free and secure ftp server... and create an account for your LAN buddies... its not that much of an arse

had this on a client PC, it was because the "Networking" and "Server" service were not started!
