How do I connect to Windows with the Firewall turned on?

I'm able to connect to the 2 Windows boxes on my home network with ease when the firewall is turned off. Once I turn the firewall on, I'm unable to connect. *What do I need to do to have the firewall on and still be able to connect to these computers?*

Well, I think I figured it out. Under Preferences-->Sharing, I clicked "File Sharing." Then I clicked the "Options" button in the lower right and selected "Share Files and Folders Using SMB." When I went back to the Firewall control under Security, File Sharing (SMB) was listed as having access. Seems to work now.
