File Sharing Problem

I have three computers networked using a router to connect to the
internet. I've had the network set up for several years and have been
able to access and share files in all directions. Recently I had to
replace my router. I now have a strange problem.

I'll name my computers A, B & C

From "A" I can access all shared resources on B & C
On "A" I have two HDs set to share. On my primary HD (C) I also have
My Documents set to share and have that folder (My Documents) mapped
as a network drive on computers B & C.

I can access the My Documents folder (mapped drive) on "A" from both B
& C. However I can't access any other resources on "A" from B & C. In
checking under My Network Places, "A" shows up but when I try to
access it I get a message that I'm denied access. Since I can access
My Documents, I know that sharing is set up properly and my firewall
(NIS) is allowing access to A. Just in case, I disabled the firewall
.... no change.

I'm stumped and would really appreciate some good advice.

I've also run the Network Wizaed several time ... even establishing
new workgroup names on all computers ... and unshared all Computer A
shared resources and then re-shared them ... same problem.

router related.
