Run the Network Setup Wizard on both computers, and tell it that they
connect to the Internet through a residential gateway.

If you've installed a firewall program (Norton, ZoneAlarm, PC-cillin,
Sygate, McAfee, etc), configure it to allow file sharing on the LAN,
and disable the Windows Firewall.

If you haven't installed a firewall program, make sure that the
Windows Firewall is configured to allow file sharing on the LAN.
