Network security access.

[Guest Lidia Del Regno]

Hi all,

I have a network between 5 pc on which there is installed Windows XP Pro

SP3. PCs

are physically connected through a router.

On one of the PC, what I acts as a server, are shared some

directories while the other is not shared anything.

 

Now, of shared directories on the server you find one that I

make accessible to 2 machines "client" and not at the other two.

I tried to make this thing in the properties of

sharing, eliminating the rights of "Everyone" and

setting those of individual machines but I have a problem: when

I try, in the textbox "Path", I not find the other machines on the network

and I see only the server machine that is the same

which is physically allocated the directory where I want

discriminate access with the result that for users of the "local" machine

and for those special, I can set correctly

rights while for the other machines I can not do that.

 

How can I do to get the result? Why in the textbox

"Path" I do not see the other machines, which could tap to

then assign the rights of content management, but only that

"server"?

 

Thank you, Lidia.

You don't share folders with other computers, you share them with other users.

With that in mind, you first need to disable Simple File Sharing on the computer

that's sharing folders. You do that in Control Panel -> Folder Options -> View

page -> Uncheck Use Simple file sharing (Recommended). Next, you need to create

user accounts on that computer that match in user name and password the user

accounts on the two computers you wish to allow access.

 

Here are some articles that you may find helpful.

Note: If you haven't done so already, you might want to post your question to

the microsoft.public.windowsxp.network_web newsgroup.

 

Good luck
