Home Networking/Firewall problem

Can anyone advise me how to configure either ZoneAlarm or Windows
Firewall to allow my 2 PCs to share files without compromising security.
With Firewall off - no problem. Firewall on - can't share files.
In Zone Alarm I have gone to 'Firewall/Zones' and added my other PC's IP
Address as 'Trusted' but it doesn't help.
With Windows Firewall I don't know how to do this.
The upshot of all this is that I can't safely have shares working if connected
to the net
PC1: Windows XP Home
PC2 Windows XP Pro
Router/ADSL Modem: Dynamode R-ADSL-C4S
