Cannot access other workgroup computers

The network in my home consists of the following components:
A Netgear WGT624 wireless router which is connected via ethernet cable to a
Westell 2200 DSL modem. This recently replaced a DLink router which died.
Computer "PC-A" connected via ethernet cable to the router.
Computers "PC-B" and "PC-C" connected wirelessly. These both have DLink
DWL-G510 wireless PCI Adapter cards.
All three computers have the same workgroup name assigned.
All three computers can access the internet OK.
However, I cannot access shared folders on all three computers, even though
they are set to share them.
From PC-B, My Network Places only shows shared folders on PC-B and PC-A.
From PC-C, My Network Places only shows shared folders on PC-C and PC-A.
From PC-A, My Network Places only shows PC-A.
PC-B and PC-C can access files on PC-A.
PC-A cannot access files on PC-B or PC-C.
Any ideas on what the problem is?
Thanks

In the D-Link's wireless security config (somewhere in there, just hunt for
it) there is a place where it can be set so that wireless clients can
connect to other Hosts but will not allow other Hosts to connect to them
(meaning it is "one-way"). Change that to open it up to allow the traffic.
It does not effect wired Hosts, so that it why everyone can see "A" and
themself, but not the other wireless Host, and "A" sees no one.

Hi
Successful Sharing involves some general consideration in Network settings,
http://www.ezlan.net/sharing.html
As well as specific adjustment of each computer according to what it is
allowed to be shared.

What you said makes sense, but I sure cannot find anything either in the
router configuration menus or the configuration on the two wireless computers
that sounds like this.

I do not have any such device here to look at. So I don't know.
