Sharing computers (ok na ni)

Hi, I've a problem regarding computer sharing. Say: PC1 and PC2.

If I enable the built in windows xp firewall on PC1, then PC2 cannot access PC1. And vice versa.
My question is, how to I keep the windows xp firewall enabled while allowing PC2 to access PC1?

Kinsa ninyo expert dira sa mga networks or firewall?

@ Hot ICe: ma block jud sa Windows XP firewall ang imong file and printer sharing if u do the configuration manually. much better if go to start > settings > network connections and click network setup wizard. and follow the instructions make file and printer sharing active

or another way of activating file and printer sharing on XP:

click on its firewall icon or the windows security icon sa lower right side sa desktop the click the firewall setup: sa exclusion tab , check the file and printer shared. para ma exclude sya sa pag block sa firewall.

@sleepydeepeyed: basta ako off ang firewall maka ping ko. but if on ako firewall, dili gyud. ako nalang pud gani off ako trend micro na firewall kay mu interfere pud.
@pedro_iho: kaning prolink h9200 ako gamit bro.
naka check biya ang file and printer sharing. ako try to imu ingon nga sa network setup wizard nako ipa agi.

Additional info, one pc connects via RJ45 ethernet cable @ 100 MBps while PC2 connects via USB @ 10MBps..
