Question about 'How to Share Files through Windows XP's Internet Connection Firewall'

I have a question about How to Share Files through Windows XP's Internet Connection Firewall:

I have 2 computers running XP Pro. I have a netgear router networking them. if I enable Xp's firewall on one system than that system can no longer browse the network. I tried adding all the ports in the article, but that does not help. Is there anything else I can try?

If your Netgear router has a firewall, then you are pretty safe, and I would just turn off the XP firewalls. I turned the XP firewall off when I set up new router myself a while back. All the internet firewall tests have shown the setup secure and invisible to the average threat.
