A 8-10 computers workgroup, all XP Home.
Cable modem internet access.
Dlink DI-704 wired ethernet router
Dlink 16 port switch
MSHOME workgroup setup, with a few shared folders, and one shared C drive
for one main program.
I am now trying to completely remove 2 of the computers from ALL workgroup,
workgroup shares, folders, etc, while keeping the other 8 or so computers in
a workgroup. I want the two "removed" computers to NOT belong to any
network whatsoever. I just want them to have internet access. I have tried
removing them via the Network Setup Wizard, deleting network places,
changing the name of workgroup, putting the two computers in their own
workgroup, etc.
However, whatever I do these two computers can still see and access the main
workgroup.
I'm by no means a networking expert, but I'm not a total newbie either. But
this thing is driving me CRAZY. Why can't I get these two computers to GET
OUT of my network??? ; )
What am I doing wrong?
thank you,
