Hello

I am wondering how to set up my network so that I can set up some network
users/computers to access folders while others cannot. I am using windows
xp pro sp2. I have already disabled simple file sharing. I cannot find a
setting to allow/deny a network user, only local users.

Any help would be greatly appreciated
 
You have a number of options:

1. You can use Share and NTFS options to allow/deny access on a per
user/per folder/file basis.

2. Go to Administrative Tools/Local Security Policy. Expand Local Policies
and click on User rights assignment. In the right pane double click on
Access this computer over the network - you can remove users and any groups
of which they are a member thereby denying all network access to the machine
by such users.

3. With the SP2 firewall you can edit the range for the File and Printer
sharing exception to deny access based upon IP address.

4. With classic file sharing if a remote user does not have a matching user
account/password on the local machine and the guest account is disabled,
they cannot access local machine shares over the network.

NTFS permissions permit sharing of folders and individual files at the local
computer or over the network by individual users or groups. Permissions
available are: Read, Write, Change, Modify, Read and execute and Full
control. Right clicking any folder or file and selecting the "Sharing" tab
should provide procedure or "Help and Support".
