Try this. De-activate the Firewall and clear its history. Re-activate, and
then PING the other computer (Start|Run| type 'command' (without quotes)
and on the next screen type PING (computer address). The firewall will then
advise that a communication is trying to take place. If you allow it, I
think your problem will be solved.

Hoe this helps
