Usually had to install a network card on someone's PC at the LAN then usually had issues with at least 1 PC not able to see the network.
Ahuh! T-junction goodness, and everyone always had different thickness cables which meant trouble! And for some reason our terminators were always screwed too which gave some lovely intermittent problems.

But after all that, there was Rise of the Triad - a LAN classic!
