Thanks for the reply Ace. Sorry I should have been more specific. I
have a simple WORKGROUP based setup where all computers on my family
workgroup have access to the same shared resources on one 'server'
computer. I'd like to give each member of my family exclusive rights
to their server folder from their own laptop and/or desktop. Is this
possible?
Thanks,
Ciarán
I see. In a workgroup, on the machine you are designating as your central
'server' (whether it is a stand alone (not joined) or a workstation, you
will need to create an identical name and password for each of your family
members that they logon with on their own machines. There is no 'adding'
them from the 'network' rather adding the users you created on your own
machine into the shared folder on their own machine. In each of their
machines and yours, you will need to either disable the firewall or make
rules to allow your workstation's IP address as trusted. Then you may also
need to change your workstation to classic file sharing, if you haven't done
so already.
That's the way workgroups work. Each machine is it's own world and trusts
nothing else and you can't create a trust between stand alones. As long as
you have identical credentials, you can make it work.
