XP shared folder permission help...

[lobski]

I'm having a hard time getting this thing to work:

Basically I want to set up a login password for a mapped drive.

I have client A and client B on my network. Both use XP Pro, and have simple file sharing disabled. They are also in the same workgroup. I want A to connect to B's shared drives/folders. They can see each other, since I can type in the address field \obliskA and \obliskB .

But when I try to change permissions so that Client A will ask for a login/password when he tries to access B, it doesn't work. I can ONLY set permissions for local user/groups in client B.

How do I change Client A's access permissions to Client B on Client B's computer?

Do I need to have a login/password for BOTH clients? Right now, I only have a password set up on Client B, the server.


This is a picture of what I need to do...

How can I select the computer "OB1" so I can give permission to OB1?

Permission are set on the computer thta the traget is.

I.e. if B needs to access A the permission are set on A there is nothing you have to do on B in order to access A.

Successful Sharing involves some general consideration in Network settings, http://www.ezlan.net/sharing.html

As well as specific adjustment of each computer according to what it is allowed to be shared.
