Hey Fellow TechHeads
I’ve been reading up on allowing my laptop to print via wireless router. My HP deskjet is an older USB printer pre-wireless. I’m going to set up a home network and try again.
If I decide to set up a workgroup, how can I lock up all my PC’s in the house? Do I have to list IP addresses? Please read my questions twice because I think people discount the importance and in my experience; other tech-heads have a hard time keeping it simple.
So.. I use PC Cillin. Q1:I want to only allow myself to make administrative changes such as only allowing my laptop to see the files in computer 1,2,3,4. (all of which are connected to a Dynex router.) i have a nosey young brother-in-law, and he found a way to see my LIMEWIRE DOwnloads via using our Dynex network. So, I got concerned that he could see all my hard drive files as well. My “Mothership” Desktop is HP. He mentioned that HP administrator is configured to be transparent. If he could see my limewire downloads, why can’t he or the neighbor guy see into MY DOCUMENTS?
Q2: Keeping it simple, what are the steps to configure virtual combination locks (so to speak) to password protect my 4 hard-drives.
Q3: How can I allow his notebook to ONLY borrow my Dynex router/HSpeed service and block him from seeing into my file directories?
