Share files/print on network?
I have windows xp home on this computer and xp pro on the other. I have them networked, and when the XP firewall is disabled on both it works fine. However, when I turn on the firewalls I cannot access the shared files or print to the printer on the other computer.
How can I Enable the firewall and still access the shared documents (On "MSHOME")
Thanks!

Do you have the same users/passwords installed on both computers?

If you go into the Firewall settings, you can manually open the port for home networking. This might work.
