 For the GPA School I would like to set up 4-6 computers in the back of
 classrooms. We may well not have internet to the classroom so I'd like the
 cluster to collaborate locally with each other.

 I tested this at an Expo I went to recently. I had 4 laptop and I
 connected them with ethernet cable to a netgear ethernet switch.  They did
 not see each other :(

 How can I make this work?
