Windows XP Network Setup problems

I have 2 Macs with Parallels each running windows XP professional.

I have configured the network so each has an IP address on my network, and both virtual machines can be seen by my router.

I tried to install a shared file from computer 1 that can be seen on comp 2, but i can't be seen.
I tried the windows XP setup wizard on both machines and I can see shared files from comp2 on comp1 but i need to the other way round.

I have changed workgroup names, admin rights and a multitude of other things.

I think this may be a admin rights issue on one or both of the machines but I am not sure.

I know this is a bit vague and really a Windows problem, but any help would be great.

Cheers

Problem solved - it was Mcafee Firewall getting it knickers in a twist!
