Vista - Home Network

I have three computers on my home network sharing files, etc. I have loaded
Windows Vista on an old computer that used to have Windows XP. Before I
installed Windows Vista I made shure that the hardware and connections were
working correctly.

I connected to the network with the computer I name RESEARCH. I am able to
access the internet and download files, read my Hotmail, etc. I can not see
the other computers on the network. I have created a folder and shared with
the Public to be able to Write. From my ohter computer I can see the
RESEARCH computer, but I have NO ACCESS to the files or Properties of the
share.

I have noticed that many others in this newgroup appeared to have the same
problem. If anybody can figure this out, please share it us. Of course, it
could be that at this time the development team has not included those
modules in Vista.

Ok, I have managed to fix things so that I can see my other PC's on the
RESEARCH computer. However, when I try to Explore another computer on the
network I receive the following message:

Verify you Firewall Settings
The setting for a rule must be changed if you want to allow this traffic.

Policy Owner: Windows Firewall
Filter Name: Port Scanning Prevention Filter
Filter ID: 72046

Now all I need is to figure out how and what to change. Anybody out there
knows what this means?
