Is there a common user account on all computers with the same password? Try
mapping the drive to comp A with the( :connect using: a different user name)
and use a valid user account and password on comp A which has the correct
rights and permissions. 
Or create a common user and password on all three computers.
Hope this helps!

Making your Computing experience Pleasant and Safe!

Subject: [PCBUILD] network sharing

We have three computers on a peer to peer LAN.  All are running Win XP Home.
Spybot and Avast are installed.  The only firewalls are the Win firewalls.
Each computer has two shared folders with full rights.  Until recently, each
computer could see and access the shared folders on the other computers.
A few days ago, computer A could no longer connect to the LAN.  I checked
the NIC, connected to a different port on the hub, and changed the ethernet
cable with no success.  I set up the network connection on A again, still no
luck.
So I restored the computer to an earlier date and was able to connect to the
LAN. But now, computer A can see one of the two shared folders on B, but not
the second folder even with the Win firewall turned off..  A cannot see
either of the shared folders on C. I turned sharing off and on again on, no
change.. B can see the shared folders on A but cannot open them (access
denied). B and C can see and access folders on each others computer. C does
not see the shared folders on A.  So A seems to be the problem.
Any suggestions on how to get computer A to work properly on the LAN?
