Question based on a solved question I made before: How to connect computers to a network printer behind a router?
General question:
How to access shared folders of computers separeted by a router?
Particular question:
How to access shared folders from C-3 using C-1 or C-2 computer and vice-versa?
What? Where?

Glossary and details:
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
- IP: IP.
- IPs: Some IP range.
- M: Mask.
- G: Gateway.
- MAC:A: A MAC address that I will not inform you :)
- DC: Don't care.
- ISP: Internet Service Provider (not so much details about it on that case).
- R-1: A real router or some concatenated so IP range bellow that block is 10.1.X.X
and above is ISP. The provided IPs are provided by MAC. As all available
addresses are in use, you must clone an existing one to join with a new
device (and to disconnect the cloned one).
- PRI: An network printer (some people here call that IP printer).
- R-2: A TP-LINK TL-WR340G, mine wireless router (since my computer does not have
ethernet input, it is my ethernet-wifi adapter :), admin access, MAC address
cloned from C-2 (MAC:A). I've to configure 10.0.1.1 and 10.0.1.2 as DNS
addresses, other wise I cannot connect C-1 and C-2 to Internet.
- C-1: My computer, a CCE XLE-425 (remember: no ethernet input), with Windows 7,
admin access.
- C-2: another computer with better configs than mine, MAC:A, Windows XP.
- C-3: another computer, Windows XP
Requirements:
I want to continue printing normally, as in solution of mentioned solved question (I redirected 9100 and 9101 port traffic to computers C-1 and C-2 respectively), to access Internet and to do it myself (no need to call network admin men in black people).
I would like to access shared folders as easy as using \C-1, \C-2, \C-3 or \x.x.x.x and te name of shared folder, as in common sharing...
Pay attention to MAC clones and DNS info.
What I think that can solve the problem:
Well, in mentioned solved question, I redirected ports related to IP printer to computers I wanted to use it. I think redirecting ports to correct ones - I don't know which ones - solves that too...
