Under Network connections on each machine, highlight the Local Area
Network connection, right-click, Properties, Advanced, and disable the
native ICF firewall.

If the Local Area Connection does not appear, you can do the same
through Control Panel, Network Adapters.

While I suspect other issues at play, you have classic symptoms of a
firewall blocking your Netbios traffic.

Next step:

. Client for Microsoft Networking, File and Printer Sharing enabled on
all clients.

. Under each client's TCP/IP Properties ***, click Advanced, WINS
tab, uncheck the LMHOSTS entry, and click to 'enable Netbios over
TCP/IP'

. Share something on each client: drive, folder, printer, but
something

. Make certain that the Workgroup name on each computer is identical,
and that the Computer Name is unique;

. Add to Computer A, the usernames and passwords of Computers B & C.
Add to Computer B, the usernames and passwords of Computer A & C. Add
to Computer C the usernames and passwords of Computers A & B.

Best wishes,
Bill Castner
