Can't access folders on one networked computer.

Three computers, all running Windows XP home. All computers can connect
to the Internet. Computers A and B can see and share everything on each
others computer but only the "Shared Docs" folder on computer C.Computer
C and see and access folders and files on all computers. I can't find
where the problem is. Any ideas? Sharing is enabled on all three computers.

I just fixed my own problem. Here is what worked for me. I went to C
drive, Tools, Folder options, View, and put a check mark in the box that
says "Automatically search for network folders and printers." I checked
that box on all three computers and now everything is working fine.

Check the "services" on C.. Start\Control Panel\Management
Tools\Services\"Computer Browser Service":.. check that it's runing and on
automatic start. Also check other services for the default settings.

Thanks for the reply, but I seem to have it fixed. See my previous
post. I was trying out a tweaking program which apparently turned off
""Automatically search for network folders and printers." I enabled it
again and now everything is working fine. I guess that is one tweak that
I will have to do without if I want to share files between all three
computers.
