Apple firewall configuration

I can't get the screen sharing to work on Yosemite (10.10.5) when the apple firewall is turned on even when the firewall setting states that the screen sharing is being allowed. Am I doing something wrong in configuring the firewall?

Screen Sharing is enable on the 2 computers in System Preferences/Sharing? Can you screen share with the firewall off?
