I have a peer to peer workgroup of about 15 computers. 4
of them have xp professional installed and one with
windows 2000(NTFS). The rest run windows 98.
My question is, i know i can set permissions on specific
files and folders on those ntfs machines but being a peer
to peer, can i block those users running windows 98 from
accessing files on those 5 machines with xp/2000? In other
words, will xp secuirty let me specify the NAMES of those
win98 clients or does this only work in a active directory
environment? How do i set the permissions in a workgroup
so that my xp machines can deny access to folders on these
machines to those machines running 98.

I hope im clear....thanks!!!
