File & Print Sharing (F&PS) blocked by Windows (or other) firewall?

If so, possible fixes are...

1) Use something other than TCP/IP for F&PS

XP has IPX, but you may find this fails to work when used with Win9x
PCs. Try adding IPX, so that F&PS can use that past the firewall.

2) Allow F&PS through the firewall

F&PS will be a checkboxable item in firewall settings if XP SP2, but
it is absurdly convoluted to do the same in earlier XP SP levels.
