My guess is computer C is the one with XP Pro? The Pro variant is
configured for corporations and therefore much more security aware.
The Home machines talk to each other using an anonymous "Guest" user
account. XP Pro, being more secure, doesn't just allow any anonymous
guest to access its files.

For starters, check Step 3 under "Troubleshoot file sharing and
printer sharing" here: http://support.microsoft.com/kb/308007
