Greetings Gregory,
Disabling and uninstalling any firewall is only needed if you are having
network problems. It is always a good idea while troubleshooting. However,
you don't have to disable it in order for the network to work. In order for
you to have the XP Firewall enabled or a third party firewall running, you
must have it properly configured so that it isn't blocking access between
the machines on the network.

> Do I have to disable Internet Connection Sharing Firewall (and/or any
third party Firewall software) in order to get the network to work properly
on my machines? The problem is I can't "see" folders on the other machine
(lets call it Comp B), or indeed see the printer, but I do have the
Broadband connection shared. I am using a Belkin ADSL Modem with Built-In
router, connected to Comp A with crossover cable. The other machine (Comp B)
has a Belkin wireless notebook card. I know I sound like a complete fool,
but this has me stumped.
