Network, WinXP and Security

[Tbird1k]

I just set up my network, its setup like this: Computer 1 is running WinXP and has the the cable connection with a second NIC connecting to the second computer using a Cross over cable. the Second Computer is running WinME and is shareing the connection fine. What I am wondering is how do you set passwords for shared folders in WinXP? What fire wall should I use that will still allow the other computer to use the connection, I tried Tiny and ZA and couldn't get it setup so the other computer can use the connection when thay are on. Right now i am using the xp fire wall which is working. Is there any way to config the XP fire wall better and is it any good?


Thanks

Don't know XP, but there is a setting and a page on the ZA web site that specifically addresses ICS configuration. Might want to give that a try before going too far in a different direction.


Cheers,
