Can I turn another PC's harddrive into a Server?

Currently I have 6 PC's on a Client server network. 5 are for users and 1 is dedicated to doing data downloads from a dial up internet service and then writes the file to the network drive then the 5 other PC's pull the data through the token ring network(SLOW). I am looking for a way to allow the PC to write the data to its own harddrive and then allow us all to access it without going through the client/server network. I am guessing that it would be a LAN that would do the trick but i don't want others to be able access each others PC. Could someone fill me in on what I need to do it or if its possible. Thanks
