I am having the same problem and a search on this site has offered no real (or step 
by step) solution. I tried "help" in Windows and got this:

1.	Open  Network Connections. 
Did that
2.	Click Incoming Connections, and then, under Network Tasks, click Change settings 
of this connection.
There is no “Incoming Connections” tab or on any list in Network Connections so I 
can not find “Network Tasks” nor “Change settings of  this connection” anywhere on 
the screen. Therefor none of the following applies either. Do I have the only Windows 
XP Pro SP2 that acts like this? 
3.	On the General tab, do one or more of the following: 
o	Under Incoming connections, in Devices, click the check boxes next to the devices 
through which incoming connections can connect. 
o	If you want to enable others to make private connections to your computer by tunneling 
through the Internet or other network, select the Allow others to make private connections 
to my computer by tunneling through the Internet or other network check box. 
o	If you want to show icons in the notification area when incoming connections are 
connected, select the Show icons in notification area when connected check box.

This is incredibly frustrating and more difficult than necessary. I can not access 
computer A from computer B and C or my laptop. But I can access the laptop from computer 
A. All settings in "Network Connections" are the same on each computer. I have turned 
off the Firewall and still have the problem.

All I have left to say is "HEEEELLLLPPPP!!!"
