Okay, so you have a flat network with only one subnet.

In that case I don't understand where netfilter comes into the question, 
because netfilter runs on routers (and helps them say "no" to certain 
packets, basically), and you don't have a router between machines on the same 
subnet.

So, you have three machines all on the same subnet, called A, B and C.

Please state clearly what the problem is, and where you have netfilter 
installed.

Antony.
