Choose different computer with locations.simple XP Pro network

[Guest]

Hello,
I have 2 WinXP Pro computers ,which are not connected to any server
(domain ,AD etc).
I opened a shared folder on one computer ,and accessed it OK from the other
one ,but it is very limited:
the only options available ,are to give access to either "read" ,"change
files" and "full control" to "everyone" group.

I removed the "simple file sharing" and tried to give permissions to this
shared folder to users from the other computer,
but when I chose the "locations" buttons ,I only saw the computer with the
share,not the other one.

So ,is there any way (apart from connecting them to a server) to give
permissions to that shared folder with users/passwords from the other
computer?

Please reply,

Thanks,
Eran

Each user that you want to use shared files and folders must be created on
the computer that hosts the share. Names and passwords must match.
