I have 2 computers connected peer-to-peer.
Computer (A) Windows XP with Firewall
Computer (B) Windows NT4

Has been working satisfactorily for years. I have updated the Firewall and
now I can not share files in some cases, whether Firewall is ON or OFF.

Exploring with "My Network Places"
(B) can see and open all the files on (A)
(B) can not ping (A), timeout.

(A) can ping (B)
(A) can not see files on (B).
(A) can not see files on (A)

Instead of My Network Places if I click on "View Workgroup Computers" then
(A) can explore and see all the files on (B).

In My Network Places the icons for drives and folders are not usual ones.
They are in a white frame with top right corner bend and an icon in the
middle which is the same icon used for View menus in most applications..

Can anyone help
