Linksys WRT54G: Laptop send unsolicited packets

To enable file sharing between my desktop and laptop I had to diable the firewalls on both computers (XP firewall on desktop and Trend Micro firewall on laptop).

I used the

web site to test the protection provided by my Linksys broadband router. My desktop passed everything with flying colors, but my laptop failed by sending unsolicited packets.

If anyone has any ideas why this would be happening and what I can do about it I'd really appreciate a reply.

I'd really like to have firewalls on both computers and in addition to the router firewall.

Thanks in advance, James
