Thanks for the reply. Unfortunately, these guys don't logon to the server so
they don't have server userids and passwords...just passwords to their w2k
and xp (home edition) workstations.
The shares that need to be created aren't on the server, they are on their
workstations. But apparently only the w2k pc's have the ability to add a
group (or user) for share access to their c:\ drive and folders. I have
found that xp home addition (which half of the users have - don't ask me why
they did this) does not provide an option for selecting certain groups or
users to view someone's c:\ drive shares....it either everyone can see the
share in the workgroup or no one can.
I guess the tricky part to my problem is that it is c:\ drives and folders
that they want
share.
Would subnets resolve my problem (put the two groups on different ones) or
should I tell them they all need to upgrade the workstations to XP
Professional (I have both Home and Professional edition at my house and the
Pro version, along with W2K pcs, allows for group and user sharing of c:\) ?
