LAN connection problem.

LAN connection problem.

I have tried to build a 3 computers LAN without using
ROUTER and Hubs.

Three LAN card in computer A.
One LAN card in computer B.
One LAN card in computer C.
OS - windows XP

The structure is shown as follows,


Internet
|
|
C ---- A --- B

I want A, B, C to be able to communicate with others.
However, I can sucessfully set C to communicate with A
or set A to communicate with B.
B can't talk to C or vice versa?
Is there any IP, subnet mask, gateway setting
requirement?
Would someone please provide some hints on configuring
such LAN?

Thank you very much!!!!

I've done this in the past using NAT32 software for sharing an internet
connection. Go here and read and this will explain one way of doing it
http://www.nat32.com.

You can also download the software and try it. Essentially, you need to
make computer "A" act like a router and that's what this software does in
addition to other things.

There are probably other ways of doing it without using an Ethernet hub too.

Out of interest does Nat32 support video conferencing type applications like
Netmeeting and Messenger (eg that need some magic feature that I can never
remember the name of?)
