Sharing a folder between two xp machines

I have a very simple setup, two Win XP machines physically cabled to a
wireless router. Both are in the same workgroup (not domain). I'd like to
allow users on one of the machines to access a folder on the other. But I
don't want wireless users to have access. So I setup identical usernames on
both xp machines with identical (blank for now) passwords. For one folder I
set NTFS permissions for "everyone" to read and write permission, and the
other xp machine can access it just fine. But that setup also allows
wireless users to see the files, which I don't want. So I set the NTFS
permissions for one username (which exists on both computers) to full
control. But the other xp machine can't see the folder's contents. I would
rather not have to join the computers to a domain. What am I doing wrong
(or is this impossible using a workgroup)?
