First off, if you don't have it installed you may need to install the TCP/IP protocol's.
If you have already, check your configuration on the 3'd PC and ensure you have
the same Default Gateway, and Subnet Mask as the other two machines and that your
IP address is the same too except for the last octet, which should be different for
each PC.
Example:
10.0.0.1 for one machine, 10.0.0.2 for the 2nd and
10.0.0.3 for the 3d. (default subnet mask for this nonroutable Class A address is
255.0.0.0) Your Gateway can be any machine but I'd make it the .1 and that should
be your machine with the internet connection as well. Not knowing what you're using
to share your internet connection and I can't advise except to say that if the problem
is due to an incorrect entry in your TCP/IP setup, fixing that should fix the sharing
as well. Let me know if this was the problem, if not, we can examine other avenues
of troubleshooting the problem.
