network access denied

I have a Windows work network with XP (32 bit) and Win 7 (64 bit) computers with Norton 360 on each computer. One of the Win 7 (64 bit) computers is serving as host for files and folders. The other computers are being blocked from access to the host. (Access denied.) When I reboot the host computer, then access is granted - for a while. I believe this is a firewall issue. How can I resolve it?

    ...check which ports need to be opened on the firewall to allow access between the clients and the host computer.
