to explain further...
I have a workgroup set up at home with a router and several computers.
The XP Pro computer is a member of the workgroup and holds files I
would like to access via my laptop (not a member of the workgroup)
over my home network. BUT I want to be able to control access to
certain folders on the XP computer so that I can access them, but no
one else. I know how to set permissions for local users, but my laptop
does not show up as a user when I am trying to set permissions.
Is there some way to set permissions for a non-local user? Or to
control access to folders by assigning a user name and password for
access in WinXP so that a non-local user could "log on" to a folder?
