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.
