Ok, Its been anoying me for sometime now... I have a Network set at home, But the other computers cannot see my files (The Host). When I Click "ALLOW ALL" on the Firewall, The other computers can see my files etc. But when I re enable the file wall then they cant.

Im Using Sygate Personal Firewall PRO

I have ticked the "ALLOW FILE SHARING" and "ALLOW PRINTER SHARING" boxes but it makes no difference
 
two ways....
1. go to Tools->Options->network neighbourhood and tick the relevent boxes for the relevent network card
2. Make advance rules so that only certain IP addresses can access the computer

How do I find out the IP's of the other computers on my LAN ?

you should be assigning your own, when i was setting up my network every single tutorial and everyone on here was screaming to make sure i was assigning my own, apparently if you let windows do it it starts to screw around with things like this..

go for 192.168.0.something

eg i have 192.168.0.100, 192.168.0.101 for the two laptops and 192.168.0.1 for the main printer controlling, internet accessing pc
