Chuck, Help! File sharing network issue



I have 3 computers in a home network, all running XP home. They are connected
via ethernet to a switch. The switch is connected to a router. The router
connects to my cable modem.

All 3 computers can use the internet separately. I can play games on my
local network against each computer.

The problem is I cannot access the shared folder on 2 of the 3 machines.
Each machine can access the same one, but that is the only machine with file
sharing access.

Also, "My Network Places" has migrated the folders from "Local Network" to
"The Internet". I don't know if this migration is linked to my access problem.

No machine needs any other machine to be on in order to browse the internet.

I've checked the obvious (to me) things and I'm stumped. I've included the
outputs from the following programs for each of the three computers: ipconfig
/all, browstat status, cpsserv, and net config - both server and workstation.
The computers are named "kensgateway", "kidscomputer", and "carolyncomputer".

Thank you for taking the time to look through this and help me out!

Regards,
Ken
