Your \\computerA is interesting -- I marked a folder shared on
Computer A, and it shows up on Computer B after //computerA, but only in a
separate window -- nothing shows up in Network Places.


That's exactly what should happen. You can access the share through
the new window. To make the shared folder appear in My Network
Places, you can either:

1. Click "Add a network place" and follow the prompts to create a
shortcut to it.

or:

2. Drag and drop the shared folder from the new Window into My Network
Places.


Steve, no, I can't get any of your suggestions to work -- and seem to be
digressing -- now the Run \\computerA command on Computer B doesn't even work
any more -- getting "The network path was not found". Should I be able to
see Computer A under Network Places on Computer A (Computer B & C always see
themselves under Network Places). This should't be this hard should it --
the other computers just fell into place. I will mention that under Entire
Network on Computers B & C, I see entries for MS Terminal Services, MS
Windows Network and Web Client Network, whereas on Computer A, I only see the
MS Windows Network entry under the Entire Network.


The network browsing function is apparently messed up, and I see that
Chuck is working with you to get it fixed.

Make sure that a firewall on A isn't blocking access.

In the meantime, try manually creating a shortcut in My Network Places
on B or C. Click "Add a network place" and specify the network
address in the format \\computer\share. Then, click the shortcut and
see what happens.
