I'm a "belt and suspenders" person when it comes to firewalls. Why not
use both the NAT on the router and the Windows firewall and set up a
firewall exception on the boxes if they don't see each other?

What seems to have made things difficult is that Dell also put a
software firewall on the new box. Switching that off seems to have
done the trick to get the XP and Win 7 boxes aware of each other. To
make the NAS device visible I had to downgrade the security on Win 7
slightly. How non-IT people ever managebaffles me. All I have to do
now is get Lightroom on the Win 7 box to import pictures on the NAS
device from a catalogue on the XP box...
