Okay I have 4 computers at my home now. All sharing the same broadband connection through a linksys router and a hub. Now computer one seems to be on its own island. Computer 2-4 I can map network drives back and forth with no problems. Now when it comes to computer 1, I can map a drive to computers 2-4 but for some reason I cannot map a drive from computers 2-4 to computer 1. They all are part of the same domain. I cannot ping the ip address of computer 1 from 2-4. But I can ping the other way around. Please help I need to access a shared folder going both ways.

Any networking ideas/help appreciated.
