I would try updating the chipset (motherboard) drivers for all three
computers. SP2 didn't play well with these. Second, I would run the
Network Setup Wizard (In Network Connections in the Control Panel) again
on all three computers. Finally, disable Windows Firewall on all three
computers and now see if you have any problems.
