Hi all,
I have XP Pro on all my machines including my server. I have all my shared folders on the server but I want each computer to be able to access only specific folders on the server.
I figured out that I have to adjust the permissions within the server in order to do this but I ran into one problem.
This is what I do (from the server):
Right Click on Folder > Properties > Security Tab > Add
When the "Select Users or Groups" window pops up prompting me to add new users, it only gives me the users from that computer! It will not see the other computers on the network. Why is this?
Also, when I look at the network through another computer I can see that shared folder but obviously I can't access it because it has not been set in the permissions. All the public folders are viewed and shared without any problems.
Can anyone help me on this?
NOTE: I have disabled the built in firewall.
