Re: Home Networking and Administrator Rights - Surely It's Not This Ha



Networking computers is meant to share resources on each other.
Specifically, what resources do you want to access on MIKEOLDPC from
MIKENEWPC (or vice-versa)? And what difficulty are you having with
that?

If it's files, then manually specifying which folders you want to
share should do it. Be aware that in XP Home, as I understand it, it
was not meant to disable "Simple File Sharing" so customizing folder
access would have a lot of limitations. I believe it's possible to
disable SFS in Home but it's not straightforward. Either way, COMPLETE
and FULL access to every folder (as I believe you want it) on either
computer is not sensible from a security standpoint. This could be
accomplished by sharing the root of your HD, but I strongly advise you
not to do it, and specially on your system HD.

But I have a feeling you want more than files... What you want (at
least what I think it is) is NOT very typical. "I am God of these
computers and my powers are infinite". That really goes beyond the
concept of SHARING. But it can be achieved with additional software.
Look into something like PCanywhere or some other equivalent tool.
These softwares allow you to remotely control a computer and do pretty
much anything.
