Access Question

[KenP]

I have W2000 server and added a new XP pc, but only want it to have access to
the Internet and not the shared folders on the server. I did not add a user
name, just connected the PC and assigned it to the WORKGROUP. IP's are
automagically assigned.

Any help will be greatly appreciated.

You need to remove everyone from shared folder so that the XP can't access
the server.

Thanks Robert,
Now I have another problem I hope you can help me with. Everything worked
without problem except on one XP machine. When I clicked on an icon of a
program mapped to the server, the can't find location came up. I clicked on
fix and it found a link but not the correct one.
Anyway, on this XP machine I have two users both with administrator
privileges. One user works just fine - can access the server and the
appropriate programs and folders. But on the other, no such luck. I tried
everything to map a drive to the server, etc. but the user doesn't have the
required access. I deleted the user on the server and recreated it and that
did not help. I added and new user to server and PC and that did not help. I
made sure the user had the correct permissions on the server to the file
folders and program folders but no luck. Every time I try to create a
shortcut to one of the required folders I get the mapped drive is not
accessible although it is listed in mapped drives.

Any help on this one will be greatly appreciated. I'm about hairless at this
point.
