I have a network with 3 new PC's running XP Pro through a
NetGear broadband router, wired. PC's 1 & 2 are fine.
PC 3 can see and access resources from PC's 1 & 2, no
problemo. PC's 1 & 2 can see 3 browsing, but cannot
access resources. Resources unavailable, unable to
locate when I double click on PC3, when I try to attach
by typng in IP address or comp name in browser address
bar.
I can ping 1 & 2 from 3, but timeout when pinging 3 from
1 or 2. 3 pulls DHCP address fine, and is listed in
routers device table. Using static address doesn't fix
problem.
Uninstall/reinstalling NIC (onboard) doesn't fix. Simple
file sharing enabled.
??????? any ideas?

Are you running any kind of firewall on 3. If you can ping
but cannot access the computer then it sounds like a
permissions problem.
