Hi,
I have a couple of questions about sharing files and folders in XP...
Firstly, is there any possible way I can set the permissions for users on the network????
When I go to Sharing and Security, permissions, add>>>why cant I change the location???its only the location of the computer I am at! cant i change to a networkd pc???
Cant I add a user on my other pc??so that only him can access this file over the network (and not anyone who connects to the network??!)
Anotehr thing....
Sometimes when I try connecting to the netwrok files...i get the Username and password...sometimes i enter anything (such as asdfg as username, asfajaslkj as password...and it works!!) (which, btw, i never understood why, and tried several times to make it always appear, to ask for username and pass, so that not anyone can connect to the network....) but recently, i added a $ to the end of the shared folder name so that it will be hidden...and now when i try to access it, i get the username and password, but nothing works!!!! i try entering the username and passwrod of the computer I am on, the one which i am connecting to, nothing!!
Anyone has a clue why>??? (is it possible that because i have the same username on both pcs???)
Is there a way to make it always appear like that?? (to enter hte username and password) so that only people with the username and passwrod can access the files??
Thanx in advance...and sorry for the lenghthy post, and if there any repetion...because i wrote in a hurry and came and back several times, so wasnt sure what i wrote and what i didnt...
10x again...
