I am using WinXp Pro and I have setup a workgroup of 5 computers. I treat one of them like a server which other 4 computers can access data from it. Now, I want to setup 4 folders in this server with security so that each of the 4 computers can only access its own folder. For example computer 1 can only access folder 1 and computer 2 can only access folder 2. How could I set up permission/security like this?
Meanwhile, I know all the 4 computers access the server as “Guest”. Therefore I can only either give access right to all 4 computers or none. I tried to link up user account information from the 4 computer to the server… like setting //computer1/user1, in order to help set up security, but the server only recognize local user accounts. I have no idea how to achieve what I want on the folder sharing restriction describe above and I am not good in administrative stuff in WinXP. Please help.
