What is difference?

[Guest SANTANDER]

What is difference when we want disable file sharing via Network

Connections -> Local Area Coonection -> Properties -> uncheck "File and

Printer Sharing for Microsoft Networks" and via right click on Shared

Documents -> Properties > Sharing > uncheck "Share this folder on the

network"?

The items that will no longer be shared.

Re: What is difference?

 

If you disable it on the network adapter or on the network connection

there will no no file and printer sharing available on that adapter or

connection. If you kill it on the Shared Documents that folder will not

be shared, but sharing may still be available and other folders might

still be shared.

 

If you go in the Services Management console (services.msc) and disable

the Server service there will be no File and Printer Sharing at all, the

service will be unavailable on any network connections or network

adapter, you will not be able to do any file sharing as long as the

Server service is disabled.

Although I unhecked "File and Printer Sharing for Microsoft Networks" in

Local Area Coonection, I can print and browse other LAN computers without

problems. Is there better way quickly and handy disable network sharing?

probably via VBScripting? Is there some handy tools? Ms help is very vague

in that point.

You don't need the Server service to browse other computers, that is why

you can browse and use resources on other computers, but they can't

browse and use the resources on your computer unless the Server service

is running on *your* computer. If the other computers don't want you

browsing their computers or using their resources it is up to them to

lock down their computers.

If you are certain that the only share is the Shared Documents folder

then all that is needed is to remove the share on that folder, but the

safest and easiest way to make sure that there is no sharing is to

simply disable the Server service, then there is absolutely no doubt

that all sharing has been disabled on the machine.

In default windows configuration only Shared Documents folder shared for LAN

computers, so if i uncheck "Share this folder on the

network", there is no needs to disable "File and Printer Sharing for

Microsoft Networks" in Local Area Coonection? Or both things need be

disabled?

just to clearify: you mean by 'Server service' this "File and Printer

Sharing for Microsoft Networks" in Local Area Coonection?

You can stop it there and that will probably be sufficient for your

needs but if you want to go one step further and completely disable it

look for the Server service in the Services Management Console and

disable it there. To start the Services Management Console click on

Start | Run and enter SERVICES.MSC in the Run box.

Re: What is difference?

 

I would disable both as there are hidden administrative shares

c$, d$, IPC$ etc.

 

This will have no impact on your ability to view network resources.
