I have three computers on a secured wireless network Belkin 54g setup. On
the computer that has the folder and files (computer 1) I want to restrict a
certain folder from the other two computers. On computer #1, I right click
on the folder and click on the security tab, simple file sharing is disabled
thus security tab is displayed. I tried to put (computer #2) name in the
check name box "computer2\dad, for example and it cannot find name. I
clicked on the location under the security tab and it lists only "computer
1", thus everyone account on computer #1 I can deny access but I cannot load
computer #2. So when I go to computer #2 and try to access the folder it
show everything. Now I right clicked on the folder on computer #1 and choose
the sharing tab I have it marked "do not share folder" but I can still see it
from computer #2 any suggestions

Thanks
