>I am running Windows XP pro on about 7 computers, and I want to set folder permissions on these computers accross the LAN. I would like to set individual folders for each user. When I try to select permissions on the Share tab after right clicking the folder, and selecting properties, I'm able to add the user, but only locally. I was wondering how I could make it so that the user could log in from any computer, and view the proper directories based on their permission. Any help is greatly appreciated.

Matt,
Asked here, answered here. For everybody's benefit.
You're seeing one of the disadvantages of workgroup authentication. If you want
to setup access to Computer A from Computer B, you have to add an account /
password identical on each computer. If you want to maintain multiple users on
multiple computers, you have to add an account / password, identical on each
computer, for each user. And god forbid a user ever wants to change his / her
password.
You need to consider setting up a domain. Which will, unfortunately, require a
Win2K Server OS - you can't do domain server with XP Pro.
Cheers,
Chuck
Paranoia comes from experience - and is not necessarily a bad thing.
