1 of 3 in workgroup not accessible

[andrena]

3 computers all joined FTP workgroup
all XP Home
all connected to a D-Link Router
all can browse the internet
all have Client for MS Network, File & Printer Sharing, TCP/IP
I also did the home network wizard and ran the file on all computers

A laptop multiple logons (no password)
B desktop same logon as desktop C (no password)
C desktop same logon as desktop B (no password)

In "Workgroup Computers" A and B can see ABC but C is not accessible

C can't even access the FTP workgroup (can browse to see FTP but then it is not accessible)

How do I get desktop C to play nice and I guess first of all even access the FTP workgroup? I can browse to see FTP Workgroup but it just hangs when I try to access it.

Just so you know. My problem was solved by turning the windows firewall off on the problem machine (C) then I connected fine and turned the Windows Firewall back on. ????

Strange because it was on both A and B machines and they worked.
