Sharing betwewen 2 PCs



I have 2 PCs. One has Windows XP Pro SP2 and the other has Windows XP Home SP2. Each of them has Zone Alarm Firewall installed.
I have them both connected to a Dynamode R-ADSL-C4S which is a 4 port hub combined with an ADSL Broadband Modem.
Each PC can connect to the Internet no problem.
What I would like to do is to be able to share files & folders between the two PCs securely i.e. that there is no possibility for anyone else to access my data via the Internet.
I have configured certain folders on each PC to be shared.
So far I have tried the ‘Set up a Home or Small office Network’ option on both PCs to no avail.
I have re-configured Zone Alarm to allow for exceptions using each PCs IP address.
Can someone point me in a direction where I might find layman’s instructions on how to achieve sharing between these 2 PCs?
