Networking other IP's with XP SP2 firewalled

[HeyHey Im a Monkey]

I have 4 PC's all with their own static IP address. In
Norton Firewall I could tell it which IP's to allow and
file and printer sharing worked fine. However in XP, I
have to disable the firewall to do any sharing.
What do I need to do to get these PC's talking to each
other throough Window Firewall?
Thanks in advance.

Open port 110 for networking.

I mean port 139

If you go into the "Exceptions" list in the XP SP2 Windows Firewall you can enable "File and Print
Sharing".

I highly recommend using the "Custom List" to only allow local LAN IPs access to F&PS...

[HeyHey]

It says that port is already in use by NETBUI. I put in
140. Is that number Ok?
