Restrict Access

[trainer]

Hi!

I got to do small security settings in my office. I got three
computers( c1, c2 and c3) all have winxp installed in it and they are
in LAN(same network). The setting to be done is:



1. c1 should not access c2 and c3.

2. c2 and c3 should access each other.

3. Both c2 and c3 should access c1.


how this can be done. I tried with inbuilt firewall in xp, by
turning on firewall in c2 and c3. After doing so c1(with fire wall off)
was not able to acess c2 and c3, and also c2 and c3 were not able to
access each other.

Any solution for this, thanks in advance

So far you have tried to limit access by interfering with the transport
layer. The usual practice is to do it at the logical level, i.e. by
granting access based on user logon accounts. What are the
various logon accounts in use on your three machines?

In c1 we have three logon accounts( account type is Limited) and one
administrator account. In c2 and c3 only one account Administrator

Force the users of C1 to use the limited account. This will
prevent them from accessing resources on C2 and C3.
