Have you tried mapping pc-C's 'resources' (drives) from pc-A and
pc-B? This can be done by opening "My Computer", clicking "view",
then clicking "toolbar". One of the buttons is for mapping
network drives. Click it, then, in the dialog box, see if the
pc-C hard disk share name is listed. If not, type it with the
appropriate syntax, and see if it will 'take'. If so, close out
and turn off the toolbar under view in "My Computer." It appears
this step may be necessary, as a peer-to-peer network I worked on
consistently lost drive mappings when the toolbar was left on. If
this causes pc-C to appear for one of the well-behaved pc's, then
carry out the same steps for the other one. Once the drives are
mapped, shared printers should not be a problem.
