windows firewall help

[ryan2822001]

Please help,i have set up a wireless home network.On computer 1 i can see and go into computer 2 but on computer 2 i can see but cannot go into computer1.I have windows xp sp2 on both pc's.I have used the set up home network on both pc's and restarted.Pc 2 has zonealarm on and the windows firewall off,pc 1 doesn't have zonealarm so windows firewall is turned on.Now when i turn off windows firewall on pc 1 i can get into it from pc 2 fine.Is there any way of allowing pc 2 to get into pc 1 without turning off the firewall?
Thanks,Ryan

Allow the home network through the firewall maybe? I don't have a network setup, or ZoneAlarm setup, so I can't help much more than this. Sorry. But try what I said (if you haven't already).

I don't mean to insult your intelligence, but are you using a straight through ethernet cable or a crossover? < Ignore please... :D

If you followed the Network setup wizard correctly, all settings should be configured correctly, including exceptions and all the usual shizzle. ;)

On a side note, nice to see you two on the ball... :p
