I am running a two computer network right now, both XP
Pro machines are mine. However, two other users will be
soon joining the network, and I dont want them to have
access to my folders that are shared on the network.

I've gone to the security tab on the shared folders, and
I can only add user permissions for the machine I'm on.
In other words, I can't add my desktop user account to my
laptop's shares, and I can't add my laptop user acct to
my desktop's shares. The "find locations" box only
displays the computer I'm on. I think it may have to do
w/ the fact that the computers aren't part of a domain,
but they are part of the same workgroup. Can anyone
help!? Thanks in advance!
