ping problem: Why one but not the other?

Hi, I've got two boxes (A&B) behind a third (C) acting as a firewall. All three boxes are working normally. All three boxes can access each other on the local lan no problem. I can use A normally and access the net through C no problem. But I cannot access the net from B through C. /etc/hosts
