I am new to this forum and would appreciate your help.
My goal is for sharing files and printer among all 3 computers through my
home network.  
I have 3 desktop computers at home [computer A  192.168.1.101 (Win XP,
Norton NIS 2006, Window Firewall disabled), computer B  192.168.1.102 (Win XP
pro, Norton NIS 2006, Window Firewall disabled), computer C  192.168.1.100
(Win XP, Norton antivirus 2006, Window Firewall enabled)].  All three are
connected (wired) to my Linksys router WRT54GS and are able to connect to
internet w/o problem.
Primary problem: computer A (192.168.1.101) and B(192.168.1.102)  were
unable to ping computer C (192.168.1.100).  A and B can ping each other.  C
can ping both A & B.  However, A & B can't ping C.  I have configured
computer C's both Window Firewall and Norton Antivirus to "trust" A & B and
even went as far as disabled (temporarily) both window firewall, Norton
antivirus on C and yet A & B can't ping C.  As a consequence (my assumption),
C can't print to B's USB connected HP printer and C can't access A & B shared
folders.  
Attached here is log of Ipconfig/all for C ("problem computer") as well as
ping from C to gateway 192.168.1.1 and 127.0.0.1 (loop)

Hi
http://www.ezlan.net/faq#trusted
Otherwise, successful Sharing involves some general consideration in Network
settings, http://www.ezlan.net/sharing.html
As well as specific adjustment of each computer according to what is allowed
to be shared,
