First let me clarify I set the Networking Wizard as to "I connect to the Internet independent from each"(In other words I don't think I have the so called Internet Connect Sharing) since I have a 56k modem in each of them.

On XP I see two options for sharing.

1. Local Sharing & Security(Shared Documents).
How do you select if you want to share ALL your files?
Is this only to be share between these 2 computers ONLY?

2. Network Sharing & Security
On this one I have 2 boxes to check.

A. Share this folder with the Network
B. Allow Network users to change my files.

Does this Network Sharing & Security referring to sharing my files on the Internet or between both of my 2 PC's?
How is this one to be set?

Thanks, I'm learning my way around.
