Guest gordon Posted June 17, 2008 Posted June 17, 2008 Hi I would like to allow some users of computers in my home network to access certain folders and to deny other uses. I have 6 Xp based machines that use wired and wireless connections. I have a workgroup called MSHOME, my router is dlink DSL G604T. I have disabled the simple sharing so I can provide different permissions to users, and that works for users on this machine but I dont know how to do this for users that will connect from other machines in the network. When I try to find users to add, I cannot change the location to find their details from this machine. For example, one of the machines is called FEGEXP - how can I give a user of that machine read only access to a folder (say 'DEV') on a machine called DESKTOP? Any help appreciated. Doug
