Can't see all on network

I have three systems on the network. Call them A, B, C. A & C can see
everyone. B can only see itself. When I had 2 systems, A & B were visable to
each other. I think when I added C is when the problem started.

I am refering to My Network Places, Microsoft Windows Network, A , B, C

How do I fix this?

Thx in advance :-)

My apologies for not replying earlier - Forgot I posted this :-(

It seems that rebooting the "missing" system corrected the problem. Could it
have been that it was power-down mode?

Rebooting a computer forces it to resynchronise its browser settings.  This is a
common problem, in a workgroup setup.
