network sharing problem

[echen]

Hi, I have several PCs are on the network. All of them are running
window XP. The network setup is: Cable modem connects to Netgear
router, Cisco switch coonects to the router.

PC A connects to Netgear router and PC B and C connects to the switch.
They get the IP address through DHCP.

My question is PC B and C can see each other, but B and C can not
access the shared folder on A.

What should I do in order for PC B and C accessing the shared folder on
A. Please note that A connects to the router. B and C connect to the
switch.

Thanks

Emmy

1. chek all must have same subnet mask
2. chek all must have series IP Address ie: 192.168.0.1, 192.168.0.3 ...
3. to get easy, all must have same workgroup

Emmy,

The most likely cause of this problem would be a misconfigured or overlooked
personal firewall, or other security component. There are several other
possibilities though.

We could look at "browstat status" and "ipconfig /all", from each computer, and
diagnose the problem. Read this article, and linked articles, and follow
instructions precisely (download browstat!):
