When I turn on the xp firewall I can't file and print share on home network.
Is there a way you can run the xp firewall and still have file and print
sharing between two machines?

TIA
 
Hi,

XP's ICF blocks File/Printer sharing. You don't need a firewall for the
Network Interface Card (used to connect two computer); however, ICF need to
be enabled on the internet connection source.
