Okay Guys.
I have two computers networked on a cross over cable, one is using ME and the other is using XP. I have Internet working on both computers with the XP computer has host. Now the problem is the XP computer can see the shared folders on the ME computer, but the ME computer can not access the XP computer. I have diabled ICF on the LAN A search from the XP computer shows the ME computer, and I can't ping the XP computer from the ME computer. I need to set up the printer that is on the XP computer for the ME computer to print.

From your description, I'd say that a firewall on the XP computer is
the problem.
Other than ICF, have you ever installed a firewall program (ZoneAlarm,
EZ Armor, Norton Internet Security, McAfee, etc) on the XP computer?
If so, un-install it. If you've previously un-installed a firewall,
re-install and then un-install it. After un-installing it, go to
Start | Run | Msconfig | Startup and disable any firewall remnants.
