We have a number of computers running successfully on a
network setup with 3 workgroups. One workgroup contains
two computers we use as our 'servers'. I am trying to
establish file permissions on one of our 'servers' so I
have first disabled 'simplified file sharing'.
 However, when I try to locate (in the share permissions
window)the users on the other computers across the
network all that is visible is the computer I am on.

A previous posting suggested installing identical users
on the 'server' as on the client computers but that would
only apply if all computers were in the same
workgroup ,which in our case is not true.

Can I set file permissions on our 'server' relating to
users in different workgroups?
If not would changing from workgroups to domains help?
If not does XpPro file permissions need server software
to work across a network like ours?
 
Thankyou in advance for all help offered.
Carl
