Thanks for the prompt reply and links Kerry. I knew it would take
someone with a great first name like yours to figure this out! Just
one question, I will need to set up accounts for each user on the
"server" in order to "make sure the user names and passwords
exist..."?

Yes, of course. Here's an example:

You have four users - Kerry, Malke, Bill, and Sue. You have a folder for
Marketing that you only want Sue to be able to get to (and you, of
course).

1. On the pseudo-server, make accounts for all 4 users with the
passwords matching the ones on the users' workstations.

2. On the pseudo-server, make Malke, Bill and Sue just plain users.
Kerry is the Administrator (also a member of users group).

3. On the pseudo-server, create a user group called Marketing. Add users
to this group - Kerry and Sue.

4. Set permissions on the folder so no one except the Marketing group
has read access. Now Malke and Bill won't be able to access that
folder.

One thing I should mention to you if this is a new setup. You have ten
machines, all accessing one pseudo-server. You may very well run into
the inbound concurrent connections limit. Note that inbound connections
doesn't mean *computers*; depending on what you are doing with the
pseudo-server, each workstation can make more than one connection to
it. See this link for more information:

http://support.microsoft.com/?id=314882

concurrent connections:

10 for XP Pro/Tablet/MCE
5 for XP Home
49 for SBS 2000
74 for SBS 2003
Unlimited for full Server O/Ses

If you run into this issue, the only way to get around it is to 1)
replace the XP Pro on the pseudo-server with a real MS server operating
system (SBS would be good for you); or 2) if the pseudo-server is just
a file server and isn't running any Windows programs, replace the XP
Pro on it with an operating system that doesn't have those limitations
such as Linux.

Depending on your business, a real server operating system has many
advantages such as centralized workstation management, antivirus, group
policies, etc.

Thanks Malke and Kerry,

That's exactly what I'm looking for.
