Team,
Can you please help? I have a strange sharing problem:
Have three computers: 1 desk top LAN connected to wireless router, 1 Dell
desk top connected wireless to wireless router and 1 laptop also connected
wireless to wireless router.
Problem: The Dell computer can see the other 2 computers and can access
share folders from the other 2 but the other 2 computers can not access the
Dell computer but can access share folders from each other. Note that when I
look into
view work group computers, I do see all three computer names. I have tried
many things but still can't make the Dell's computer accessible to the other
2.
Enclosed is the IP config, net config and browstat status of all three
computers:

Tks in advance for your help.

Hi Le-Dinh,

You have 1 discrepancy here. DinhHa has Node Type of Hybrid, which will create
some latency. The other two computers have Node Type of Unknown, which is
treated as Broadcast in your case. Broadcast is a better choice for small LANs.

And check the NetBT setting on all three computers - make sure that it's
explicitly set to Enabled.

Beyond that, I'd start looking on DinhHa for overlooked firewalls and other
security components. What antivirus is running on DinhHa? Is DinhHa used on
any other networks? In any coffee shops or other public areas?

Hi Chuck,
I have tried using your suggestion, so far no luck.
1) DinhHa's hybrid node changed to Broadcast
2) netbios-over-tcpip set to enable for all three computers

Enclosed is the revised IPconfig, Netconfig and Browstat:
