These pc's are running NO protection whatsoever.
i think you are right thinking the router doesn't forward the traffic.

i'm going to check the router config again to see if i can change
something about that behaviour.

thanx already for the replies!

If these 3 PC's are running Windows and default Win Firewall is enabled, then no you won't see them. Unless you

Try Nmap'ing from one of the 3 PC's to the other two see if you get a response.
