Firstly, make sure both computers are on the same workgroup, and that both have file sharing enabled. This can all be done in the network control panel.
Secondly, someone else already mentioned sharing a directory rather than the entire drive, and that is KEY! DO NOT share your C drive, even behind a firewall, because you are creating a huge security hole that way.
Secondly, make sure that the shared folder on each computer have the right permssions so that you need a password to access them.
Even trhough a firewall, this type of authentication on a local network should work, and provide you with good security. If you're still having problems, try visiting M$ knowlege base, they have tons of How-To's there.
Good Luck, and think security FIRST!
Peace,
Pierre
