I have the exact same question as the exchange below from 8/5/03,
except my shares are on a W/2000 Pro box, and the machines I want to
selectively allow access are XP/Pro. Looks like W/2K doesn't allow
disabling simple file sharing. Is there a way to allow one box access
to some directories and the other box access to others? BTW, my
systems have printer sharing going both ways... Audit seems to
indicate the XP box is logging on as a local user(me), and I can make
it "forget" how to log on.

Here's how XP Pro (with simple file sharing disabled) controls network
access works in a workgroup (not in a domain):
1. You define permitted users and their type of access for a shared
disk or folder. The user accounts must exist on the local computer.
2. Someone logs into another computer on the network specifying a user
name and password.
3. That person requests access to an XP Pro share.
4. XP Pro looks at the user name and password specified by that person
at login time. If it matches an account on the local computer, XP Pro
grants or denies access according to the pre-defined permissions for
that account.
5. If the user name and password don't match an account on the local
computer, XP Pro replies and asks for a different user name and
password.
6. If the client computer runs Windows 2000 or XP, it displays the
prompt to the user, who can enter another user name and password. If
the client computer runs Windows 95/98/Me, it displays the dreaded
IPC$ prompt, for which there's no correct reply.
