In XP's Control Panel>Network Setup, run the wizard which will then set up file and printer shraing and open up the firewall at the same time. When you get to the screen with four options about creating a network CD or flash drive, select the last one and run the wizard on the other computer. You then need to set the folders you want to share by right clicking each and going to Sharing and Security, starting with the main C:\ drive.[/#000ff]
