I have 2 computers (XP and 98SE). Both can connect to
the Internet. Today I tried to access the shared folder
on 98SE. Then My Network Places froze and now I see
nothing. I can ping the 98SE machine from XP, but not
vice versa. If I type the ip address in Internet
Explorer in XP, I can see the shared folder and the
printer. I fixed this problem before, but it seems to
happen almost everytime I try to browse the network.

Here are some pics of what I have:

I can fix this problem by disabling the firewall and re-running the Network Setup Wizard. I also use this computer on 2 different networks (one is home and other is school), and on the school one I absolutely need the firewall (it is infested with Blaster, Mydoom, Sobig, etc.). My question is can this be fixed so I don't have to do anything or do I have to fix it myself everytime I come home?
