Networking using my router

I have a SMC 7004ABR router and i want to network two computers together. I am running Win XP on both machines. I was wondering if someone could tell me how i go about making it so the two computers can share files, and a printer and still be secure. Do i need extra software, or can you do it just in windows.
Cheers
