You may well have a misconfigured or overlooked personal firewall, or other
security component. There are several other possibilities too, and any might be

You might look at "browstat status", "ipconfig /all", "net config server", and
"net config workstation", from each computer, and diagnose the problem. Read
this article, and linked articles, and follow instructions precisely (download
