Cannot access workgroup computers

[Tsopanos]

Hi All

I want to create a workgroup consisting of three WinXP Pro machines.
Two of them are co-located and are served by an access point, which in
turn is connected to an ADSL router. To add the third computer, I used
an extra access point, wireline connected to the computer, which
operates in bridge mode.

The problem is that, although Internet access is OK, folder sharing
does not ALWAYS work. I can access shared resources on the standalone
computer only from one of the two co-located computers. There is no way
I can persuade the other pair of computers to talk with each other. The
funny side of the problem is that this problem persists *almost
always*. There are rare cases where all folder sharing works OK.

The error message I get is either "The list of servers is not
available" or "Network Path not found".

All three computers have consequtive IPs (10.1.1.0/24), same subnet
mask, and workgroup setting.

Any Ideas?
