Hi everyone. My LAN has always worked perfectly but now I get a really weird
issue.

Here is my problem. I have 3 PC in LAN (Hub 10Mbit/s).
PC A: 192.168.0.1 and Windows XP Professional/NO firewall
PC B: 192.168.0.2 and Windows XP Home SP1/NO firewall
PC C: 192.168.0.3 and Windows XP Home SP2/NO firewall
Subnet mask on all 3 PCs: 255.255.255.0

PC A is connected to a ADSL adapter (USB) and Internet connection is shared
with the other 2 PCs.

Obviously ping work on all three PCs *but* file sharing works without
problem only between PCs B and C.
Furthermore, PC A can access to PCs B and C but these two cannot access to
A.

Surprisingly, If I try to browse PC A shared files from PC A, it doesn't
work. It says that I cannot access those resources maybe because I don't
have the requested authorizations. It says as well that request failed
because of server insufficient memory error (PC A has 1Gbyte RAM).

I really cannot understand what is happening. I have just one
user/administrator-profile on all PCs.

Please, help me. Thank You so much in advance.

Is that a modem or a router? If it's a modem all your shares on pcA are
open to the net.

Don't do this. Administrator access is usually disabled over the lan.
Create a common new user with passwords on each of the pcs. Doing so
should allow access to shares over the lan.
