Home network-security settings?

[Pat Mac]

I have a home network set up with the host computer (running Vista), a
Canon
printer and IBM laptop (running XP). I found that I have to disable both
the Windows firewall and McAfee firewall on the host computer in order for
my network to recognize my IBM laptop. Is there a workaround other than
turning the firewalls completely off?
