Gone to Windows Firewall, now have problems.

Tech-Archive recommends: Repair Windows Errors & Optimize Windows Performance

Dear All,

I've recenlty got rid in ZoneAlarm, and gone to Windows Built in firewall,
and now I can't access my laptop over the LAN. I'm guessing there is a
setting that I need to change, but I can't find it. I've changed the
settings within the "Advanced" option to allow me to connect using
pcAnywhere for remote access, but I can't acess it from "My Network Places".

Is there something I should be looking for, or changing?

Regards.
Paul.
