Do networked PCs require the Internet?

Please excuse me for this dumb question but I need to know if I must be connected to the Internet to share files and folders on the following types of networks. I have a desktop (connected to DSL modem) and laptop, both using WinXP Home:

  1. File and printer sharing using DSL modem and wireless router

  1. VPN

  2. VNC (I think this one needs to be)

Any help appreciated. Thanks in advance.
