I used good ol' guessing.
anyway what I did worked, so maybe you can give it a try. It doesnt harm your computers in any way.
anyway, I just disabled all the firewalls on all the computers, and went to the Properties window of the folders. (right click on the folder > properties) and checked read-only. Then I did that again but this time, unchecked read only on all the folders.
Then, I put them up for sharing.
Then, I restart the computers, and whala, it works.
Yeah, it sounds dumb but it works for me.

If you are positive that you have already 'Shared' the folder on the network, then try some of the following:
Enter Administrative Tools (If you're using Windows XP, goto Start, Settings, Control Panel, Performance and Maintenance, and then Administrative Tools). Expand 'Local Policies', and then double click 'Security Options'. In the list provided, you should see 'Accounts: Guest Account Status' -- is it Enabled? If not, double click on it and then select the Enabled option.
Now, go to 'Local Policies', and then 'User Rights Assignment'; double click on 'Access this computer from the network' -- in the list of users, make sure that 'Everyone' is there (if not, add it). Go to 'Deny access to this computer from the network', open it, and if the account 'Guest' is in the list, remove it.
On one of the slave computers, go to start > run > cmd > net view [Hosts IP] -- ie: net view \\192.168.10.2
If you recieve the message "There are no entries in the list", then that means you have not set up sharing properly.
To find out what folders you're sharing, go into Command Prompt, and type: net share
Are all the computers using the same Operating System? If not, what os are they using?

Also, when you shared folders, did you also tick 'Allow network users to change my files'?
And.. Does the user account on the server machine have the exact same name and password as you use to logon to the client machine? They all need to be the same.
I trust you have all firewalls disabled?

Just for testing purposes, (on the host computer) go back into 'Local Policies' and then 'Security Options', and then select 'Network Access: Let Everyone permissions apply to anonymous users'. Enable it. Can the three slave computers now modify folders?

Hi Dan and Jonnyrotten,
Dan, "Network Access: Let Everyone permissions apply to anonymous users" was disabled. Enabled it and still not accessible. Yeah, i did tick on "Allow network users to change my files". Still nothing.
There are no logons as far as when the computer starts up. Firewall only enabled for Internet Broadband direct connection. As far as LAN settings are concerned, no firewalls. Actually my computer is not really a server. It just serves as an Internet Gateway. Part of an infrastructure connected to others with LAN switch and a Wi-Fi Access Point. I still don't get it. Thanks for all your help though. Still not working.
jonnyrotten, am using XP Professional SP1.
