Restriction on a workgroup

[Guest]

Hello, I have a problem: I have on my university 3 workgroups. I want the the
following: I don't want users from the workgourp 1 and 2 to see shared
resources from the workgroup 3. I did this by changing the subnetmask, but
I'm the administrator and I need to acces all the network resources. There is
any other way to do the same restriction and I can see all the network
resources. The network is WinXP. I need a solutin until I setup Active
directory on Win 2003 server standard. I have some problems with
confugurating Active Directory and until I solve this I need a solution.
Thank you!

I suppose you could password protect those resources, but even then
you would just be getting more Active Directory-ish.

Lucian,

If you have managed switches you could create VLAN's and place each
workgroup in its own VLAN, then create an ACL allowing you to access
all VLAN's
