sharing only one way

Hi all,
I have 3 xp pro machine connected using a zonet 4 port router. They are
getting their lan tcp-ip's automatically by xp, ranging from 192.168.8.17 -
192.168.8.19. the are all in an MSHOME workgroup and all have file sharing
on with all drive ticked to be shared.
The problem is that two machine can see each other and share files, they can
see the first but can not share or access its files. ( the error message is
"\\computer is not accessible. you might not have permission..."blar blar
blar).
This first machine however has unrestricted access to the other two and can
share anything on them.
Can anyone help

Check your Guest account permissions, or set up identical
Username/Password accounts on all machines. Also check the folder
permissions for the files you're trying to share.

Do you have the firewall enabled on any of the machines (particularly the
one they can't access)
