Cannot Give Permission to Folder for Access from Other Computers

[Guest hotday2222]

I have a network set up with a server and 5 client computers (networked

as workgroup).

 

I've created folders in the server for clients.

However, I want to restrict folders so they are accessed only by

certain client computers (ex. client a); in addition, I also want to

restrict them so only a specific user from a specific client computer

is able to access the folder (ex. \\client_a\john).

 

Problem: When I go the the folder's Share tab and click 'Permission' it

doesn't allow me select users from a location different than the server

itself. I can't look for users in other computers in the network.

 

How do I solve this?

 

I'm using Widows 2003 SP2

I don't think what you want is possible.

 

In a workgroup typically one would add the same username and password the to

the "server" that the user would use to log onto their computer. Then grant

this account permission to use the share.

Yes...your right.

I'm just not very clear on how all this networking stuff works that's

why I was confused.

 

Thanks for the reply.
