Networking Problem - test repeat (never appeared first time)

I have not seen any response to my yesterday repost of this same
request. Of course, I never saw any responses before to this same
problem of mine. Risking chastisement, and because I really need help
on this networking problem, this is a re-post but to a different NG.

Thanks for your patience.

Made it in my downloaded headers this time!
Answer(s) on my networking problem will be appreciated.

Sorry about this repost. I need to see if it makes it this time.
Someone was critical and said the first post had been answered. My
post and that or those replies do not show in my header downloads.
No idea why not. All I want is the replies dealing with my stated
networking problem. Apparently my Agent has a mind of its own.

I tried reposting this to alt.test and it failed to appear there also.
I then tried a few posts of parts of the texts - they all appeared in
my alt.test header downloads just fine. I then tried a second repost
to alt test of the entire original post AND IT SHOWED UP JUST FINE
ALSO. Leaves me quite confused.

Anyway here goes again - My original post of yesterday. Let's see if
it shows up. If it does, I will post that fact, and ask any
responders from yesterday to please respond again.

Thanks

Be nice please

================================================= ========

I currently have three XP (P3) machines networked together via CAT5 to
a wireless router. I call them machine-1, machine-2 and machine-3.
All are in Workgroup 'MYHOME'. All folders & files on all 3 machines
are set to file sharing, allowing all user mods to same.

'My Network Places' on machine-1 shows all content of machine-2, and
allows accessing/changing to same. It does NOT show machine-3 at all.

'My Network Places' on machine-2 shows all content of machine-2 &
machine-3, and allows accessing/changing to same. This is as it
should be.

'My Network Places' on machine-3 shows all content of machine-1 &
machine-2, and allows accessing/changing to same. This is as it
should be.

So, basically, my problem is that I cannot access the content of
machine-3 from machine-1, and I cannot figure out why not. I have
tried several things - to no avail. It seems strange to me that
machine-3 seems set up correctly enough to link both ways with
machine-2, but only one way with machine-1. Otherwise, my network
seems to work fine.

Looking for help.

Thanks

Re-posting my response to your re-post from yesterday....

Before looking for increasingly complex solutions, you should try
eliminating some of the more obvious "simple" ones first ;

One "perhaps" is that if you were to take a look at the "Sharing" tab for a
drive and/or other content (e.g. Printer) on Machine #3. i.e.;
Right-click on your [C:] drive and click on the "Sharing" tab. Then just
ensure that sharing IS enabled for that, or any other drive/other you wish
to be able to access from the network.

I do I.T. and computers as a hobby and in a small way, I also give a little
professional help. As for networking, I'll admit to it not being my
strongest area of expertise. Probably, I think most people who contribute
here know more than me on the subject of Networking. However, the point I
am making, here, is that possibly *before* you go into any greater detail
in your search for an answer, that you re-check the more simplistic of
possible causes first. That's all I am saying!...

I agree. Thanks for the words of wisdom.

The tool (Forté Agent) seems to be working just fine. Google Groups seems to
think it is working just fine. And 40tude Dialog+'news.sonic.net' shows your
articles.

Maybe you need a different tool (newsreader), a different service (Easynews
is puking)?

I have been Googl'ing the H out of this subject already. I do agree
with you.

That's what I really meant.
