microsoft windows network problems?

hey guys, i have a problem with the networking at my work.

heres the scenario.
room 1 has computer a & computer b
room 2 has computer c

im trying to network computers a, b, and c together.

however, the networking system is run a little weird at my work... none of us has access to the main network settings cause i guess they set all computers connected to the network as peer to peer or something...
and when computer A and computer B try to locate other computers in the network, it is able to do it without trouble or problems. the ONLY computer it can't detect or find is computer C.
the same goes for computer C. Computer C can find or locate any other computer in the network EXCEPT for computers A and B..

im not sure what the problem is, so i was wondering if you guys could help me out?

i tried placing all of them in the same workgroup name, but the same problem occurs, they can't see/read each other as being part of the network. and when i say placing them in the same workgroup, i merely changed their workgroup names to be identical (is that how you do it?)

anyways, i dont care about the other computers in the network, i just want these 3 computers to be able to network with each other.. =/

thanks in advance for any help you guys may provide

 

Are all the comp connected via hub and share one internet connection

 

see if you can ping the IP address of the other computers from each workstation.

 

yeah, im able to ping each computer... i took off firewall on all of hte computers

but for some reason, computer C can only detect computer A, and not computer B.

and how come they arent in the same workgroup? they all have the same exact name, but they're not showing up =/

and im not sure how they are connected.. the computers are all connected to the wall by ethernet, and supposedly the connection is just a network branch of the UCSD system. so i dont know whether its a hub or router? i think its a hub... i dunno.. how can i tell?

 

You have to check with the school IT if you can share while you are connected to their Network.

If your computers are on the same Private Network then this might help: http://www.ezlan.net/sharing.html

BTW. Pending on how the school system is configured you might end up sharing your stuff with the whole campus.
