XP Networking Issues with Firewall

Hello All ---

I have a desktop pc and a wireless laptop networked running thru a linksys router. I am having a hard time getting the 2 computers to share/access files. I know it is a firewall issue as if I disable the firewall on the laptop, I can view/access the laptop's files from the desktop pc.

How can I set my firewall to allow connections from the desktop and vice versa. For example. the desktop pc's ip is 192.168.1.105. Do I need to put this ip address in the laptop's firewalls settings to allow for incoming/outgoing connections. I tried it but not with much luck.

thanks.
