How share to ONE other PC?

[George]

On a small network with WinXP-pro PC's, how can I share the "My Documents"
folder with just ONE other PC on the local network, which is behind a
firewall router, which assigns "local" IP addresses I think to each PC. I
wondered if an expert might could fill in the blanks and "?" below...

On my PC#1, right click My Documents > Sharing > [X] Share this folder on
network, then click "view firewall settings"...

On GENERAL tab click...
(o) On
[ ] Don't allow exceptions (uncheck to allow)

On EXCEPTIONS tab click...
[___?] File and Printer
[___?] Remote Assist
[___?] Remode desktop
[___?] UPnP Framework
[___?] Windows Messenger

Click "Add Port..."
Name: __________? what do I put here?
Port number: _________? how do I find this for PC#2?
(o?) TCP. Is this right or is it UDP?

Thanks,
George

Turn on File and Printer sharing on both PCs, then leave the rest of the
settings alone. They are not necessary for file and printer sharing.
