I am staring at the permissions on computer A: it says this folder is shared

Computer A will not allow any other computers to access this folder.
Vista networking is entirely secu if nobody can access any folder over
the network no problems can occur.
No work can get done except fiddling with this useless waste of code.
THIS DOES NOT HAPPEN ON MACS, say what you will about the Apple system. It
is not so arcane that a network engineer can't get simple file sharing to
work.
I hope Microsoft is heavily invested in mortgage backed securities.
