I'm sorry, but I still don't have enough information to help. Please
answer these questions:
1. What is the complete path of the folder that you shared on computer
3? I don't mean \\computer\share. I mean something like C:\Documents
and Settings\<user name>\desktop
2. What are the share permissions on that folder?
3. What are you typing or clicking to try to access it from the other
computer?
4. What exactly happens when you do it? If there's an error message,
what is its complete text?
5. Is simple file sharing enabled or disabled on computer 3?
