I have 3 computer with WinXP SP2 installed, and they are all using simple file sharing to share files among each other. The problem is that computer A and B can't see computer C, but computer C is able to see computer A and B.

Computer C has no firewall program running on it (no windows firewall), I'm able to ping out to the other computers without a problem. Computer A and B are able to ping each other but not C. I check my router, and everything seems fine there, so I'm really puzzled to why I can't share files on computer C. Any help will be apperciated.

Go to your windows firewall in the control panel.

Make sure the "Don't allow exeptions" is not checked.
Go to the "Exceptions" tab.

Make sure "File and Printer Sharing" is checked.

You shouldn't use simple file sharing or fast user switching. Unless SP2 changed that, hackers exploit it.
