Enable the firewalls! It's dangerous to connect to the Internet, for
even a brief time, without firewalls. Firewalls have no effect on
file sharing on your network, since you're using the IPX/SPX protocol.

Please double-check the settings that I gave and make sure that
they're set up properly on PC2. Both computers need those settings,
and they worked right on PC1.

Create matching user accounts (same user name and password) on both
computers.
