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?

My Computer/tools/map network drive, click browse and then open a few
folders (under work group( until you can see the name of the other pc
and choose the directory, select "reconnect on startup" you should see
it appear as if it were a local hardrive now.
