on my network we have 30 pc's connected as workgroup,my query is i want to create a user on machine say m1 which has NT Workstation,the user when logs in should access another machine say M2 which has NT 4 server,user should not be able to copy any data from m1 to ant of the other pc say (m2,m3,...m4..so on)that is user on m1 should not access or browse orshould not copy data from mi to any other machine on network apart from m2,
that is m1 workstation should should access only m2 server,but not other machines on network,or the user logging in on m1 should not copy data from m1 to any other machine connected in network.

create a group called m1 access m2 and assign access this pc from network rights.
add users of the m1 machine in that groups and make sure m1 users have the right to log on only to m1 machine!
use user manager for domains for this.
now your m1 users can log on only to m1 machine and they belong to a group which contains right to access only m2 machine.
make sure m1 users do not belong to any other group.
use ntfs indutual rights for copy or read only etc.

I think the best way to deal with the problem is implement a more secure network such as a domain instead of a workgroup. With that you have given me I would map a drive to the NT server box you mentioned and disable the network neighborhood using a local system policy on the machine that you are limiting. In this way you will have the access to the machine you wanted while at the same time removing the ability to browse the network for the novice. If your users are more advanced then there are some more steps you could take. Let me know if that helps... Rob
