Hi Steve, thanks for the reply. I took a look at this article and it
looks like it has good information in it. I did the first part (enable
file and printer sharing) and it still was not working. As I am trying
to do this from on Windows XP SP2 machine to another, would I find a
Windows Firewall GPO on an XP machine? If so, where? Because the
article is about Server 2003 and I'm working with XP, I'm a bit confused.

Thanks a bunch!
