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.

Great that sounds promising - Thanks Ace. I'm trying it out here but I
can't figure out what way to setup the permissions. I've added a local
user account on the fileserver computer with the same name as my own
workstation. i don't use a password so I left it blank. Then I added
the NETWORK group to the permissions on the whole shared drive and
allowed them to list folder contents only. Next I allowed the NETWORK
group full access to all folders except my own (just as a test) and
gave the new user account under my name full access to my folder on
the shared drive. I thought that these actions would allow everyone
full access to all folders but only list access to mine. Am I doing
something wrong?
It's important to note that before trying all this, everyone in my
family had full working access to the shared drive from any
workstation on the network.
Thanks again for the help Ace, I really appreciate your time!
Ciarán
