Updates changed network settings

Hi,

I have a wireless network between two computers that share files and
printers. Everything worked fine until after I installed updates from
microsoft which enabled the Microsoft Internet Firewall.

If the Firewall is ENABLED and I select "View Workgroup Computers", only one
computer is listed. If the Firewall is DISABLED, they both show up in the
list.

Since I have WEP encryption enabled between the two machines, do I even need
to have a firewall enabled?

Also, how can I setup Firewall that allows both computers to share resources!

Thanks in advance,

.
