A can ping C & D
B can ping C
C can ping D
D can ping C

Curiously C can be accessed by E and its shared files opened.

So the question is , is this the right approach? I have read posts
here stating that a switch is a suitable option.

Unless the switch is defective, the cause lies elsewhere. A
functioning switch is totally transparent to the computers.

I will add that three of the machines have Norton 2006 on them, which
I am suspicious of anyway.

And rightfully so.
