Dan,

And is the Guest account enabled (SFS requires it), with identical password
(preferably non-blank) on all 3 computers?

If so, provide ipconfig information for each computer, and we'll start analysing
your problem.
Start - Run - "cmd". Type "ipconfig /all >c:\ipconfig.txt" into the command
window - Open c:\ipconfig.txt in Notepad, make sure that Format - Word Wrap is
NOT checked!, copy and paste entire contents into your next post.
