JP,

Please provide ipconfig information for each computer, with all 3 computers
connecting and having internet access, so we can see where to start.
Start - Run - "cmd". Type "ipconfig /all >c:\ipconfig.txt" into the command
window - Open Notepad, make sure that Format - Word Wrap is NOT checked!, Open
c:\ipconfig.txt, copy and paste entire contents into your next post. Identify
operating system (by name, version, and SP level) with each ipconfig listing.

Also, can you please describe in a bit more detail what "unable to network the
three computers" means. What have you tried doing, and what error or problem
have you experienced?

Cheers,
Chuck
