This is really weird, I'm not sure if I adjusted some setting and can't figure out how to change it back or if there is something wrong with my friends router.

Heres the problem, me and a friend are trying to share files so we turned on file sharing. We are both using 10.5.3 (Leopard). When we activate file sharing, from the sharing menu in system preferences, we can both see each other in the finder. Now when I click my friends computer, I can see his dropbox and send him files but can't access it. However, when my friend tries to do the same thing, he clicks on my computer and it says Connection Failed.

Any suggestions?

We check our sharing options and they are both the same, so whatever is working for him should work for me too... He can connect to my computer if we use the "Connect As" option by inputting my username and password though, so what could it be?
