How to share a folder in a working group for some PC

Hello
I have a working group with the name of workgroup1.
There are about 10 PCs in this working group with the names of PC1, PC2, PC3, PC4...
I have a folder in PC1 with folder1 name and I want to share it in the Working Group
I want that only users of PC2 and PC3 to see this folder
Please me tips

For starters, Windows file sharing does not care and cannot distinguish any particular computer access.  Windows protects access to files by user name and password.  Therefore, on PC1, you must create a username and password for everyone you want to access the files on this computer.  Then, they authenticate from any computer with this user name and password.

Secondly: For Windows to distinguish a user to another user, "Simple file sharing" must be disabled.  Active Simple file sharing, all users that connect to the service computer will always authenticate as user 'Guest' and, therefore, you can control access to any file or folder it by individuals.  Simple file sharing cannot be disabled on XP Home, to support this feature, your PC1 must be XP Pro edition.

Assuming that you did this now, everything you need to know to disable Simple file sharing and establishing user access to files is in this article:
"How to disable the file sharing simple and how to set permissions on a shared folder in Windows XP"

and

  • How to share a folder, but not its subfolder

    Hello
    I'm using xp pro sp3.
    I have a network with computers-all 3 have the same workgroup name and no password setting (everything works fine).
    Now my question is - how do I turn off sharing for a spesific subfolder (not all subfolders) to a user only?
    Thank you

    Simple logic says that in order to prevent a user from a folder, the computer should recognize somehow than the user to other users.

    According to my logic, this action does not take place on the folder shared/subfolder/all file level only, according to the name of the other computer on the network that share the same working group.

    Some sort, I solved my problem by adding another program: VNC
    and I can add my Mac/Iphone as well

  • How to share a folder of Win 7 with a XP user

    I'm trying to share a folder of Windows 7 on my network group to a Win XP computer user.  In Win 7, I chose a homegroup of the 'work' with the same network as the computer Win XP name.  I would like to only a specific XP user in order to access a password protected sharing folders Win 7.  When I right click on the folder, click on 'Sharing' and click 'Advanced sharing,' and click 'Share this folder' and click on 'Permissions' and click on 'Add', and I try to enter the user name XP networking "Enter the names of the objects to select", he always says that the object 'name is not found."  When I ping the XP network computer, he says.  How can I share files safely on a semi unreliable network to a XP computer?

    Thanks for your help.  You reminded me about an option for XP that I didn't need to use some time.  I finally understood how network with Win 7 there is only an hour!  I was able to add a user to the permissions area by adding an account to my Windows 7 computer and then use it to log into the network folder in XP.  For files requiring an admin, I had to add the user account created to have rights to the folder.  Windows 7 dialog boxes and the features are slightly more complicated than XP.

    Thank you once again, this case is closed for the moment.

    Thank you

  • How to setup Windows 7 as a working group that is not part of a business network?

    I have 2 Win 7 Pro systems implemented on a working group that is not part of a domain (on XP it was no problem to set up a home network, not a business network). However, Win 7, although it gives the option under system, network ID properties, joining a domain or a workgroup, it fails to really accept the parameters of working group. After the reboot, it is always default to a Business Network setting. It's very frustrating because security seems to be much more rigorous to manage communication; sharing, etc.

    There must be a solution to this. Someone has the answer to get systems to settle and remain in a workgroup about.

    Thank you

    Since then you have only really two choices (workgroup or domain) and to join a domain - servers any must be involved...  I think that there is a lack of communication here.
     
    A "working group" is really - even with all the recent stuff - just a bunch of stand-alone computers with the same name.  John and Jane Smith Mikey - for example.  It can * help * simplify some shares in all areas of resources, but is not as a true area - where they share not only the same name - but many of the underlying parameters is pushed down by a central control entity (server).
     
    So - let's make sure that you are talking about the same thing that you seem to believe that you are.
     
    In the desktop menu or start - right click on "Computer" and choose "Properties".  This should open this folder: 'configuration\systeme and Security\System control. "  -"Computer name, domain and workgroup settings" should be things foure - please list those in response to this announcement.
     
    You can even JOIN a domain with a server being involved and demand - if...

  • How to remove a computer from my working group under XP and Windows 7?

    We have recently implemented a network composed of our three computers (2 XP) Home Office and 1 Windows 7 to share files and printers.

    However, we found its malfunction and could not share what we expect.  One of the reasons, we can see it, could be one of the computers have been infected.

    So, we try to remove this computer from the working group.

    However, no matter how hard I searched on Internet, there is no way to remove the infected computer's existing working group.

    There that experts can help us?

    Thank you very much!

    Hello

    You cannot remove a computer from a working group, but you can change the name of the working group.

    http://support.Microsoft.com/kb/295017

    http://www.SevenForums.com/tutorials/51711-workgroup-name-view-change.html

    But that will not necessarily mean that they are not accessible by other computers on the network, or it will necessarily make the other less likely to be infected through this PC computers.

    The only way to "withdrawal" of a computer on a network is to unplug the network cable or remove the name of the wireless network.

    If you are concerned about a possible infection, you must get the malware to day and scan for malware protection.

    However, I suspect it's more likley your problems are caused by the lack of knowledge in the topic network different Windows operating system. This can help...

  • How to get ethernet workstation in the working group with wireless workstations

    All the g ' Day. I just purchased and installed a WAG120n annex a modem router with an Ethernet to port 1 and two wireless network cards. The problem is that I don't see the workgroup on the NETWORK ethernet card, and the two wireless network cards can not see the ethernet NIC however, I can find each NETWORK card using search. One of the network cards wireless can connect and connect to the ethernet NETWORK card, but when even it will appear in the working group - I have not yet tried with the other NIC wireless. How can I configure my router to allow all machines are? If this is of any help, is NETWORK card ethernet Intel Pro 100 V, wireless is Intel 2200 gb and the other NETWORK card wireless is a D-Link DWA 510. Gordon.

    Hi - I'm going to mark it as resolved: I realized that I was looking for something I didn't need. While I have 3 machines with capacities of networking of industrial quality, all I need is a P2P system. I had already activated beside the TCP/IP NetBEUI, simply because it worked wonderfully on my D-Link G604T GenII and NetBEUI is what you really need on a P2P. TCP/IP must remain, then we can access the internet and the router. We can easily map network drives - which has never been a problem - and I was systematically put out of service on each computer network browser Service to eliminate the 8003 errors that continue to occur. You don't need the network browser in a P2P... In any case, the new (financial) year approaches, have a happy! Gordon. Why doesn't the RichText? I activated in my settings!

  • "Cannot access working group on some computers running XP - ' &#60; name of working group &#62; is not accessible. You might not have permission to use this network resource ".

    I have a home with 4 PC network - one of them is running Windows 7 Home Premium (with homegroup disabled) and others running XP Pro.  The XP machines is called 'Server' and the server and the computer services browser running and set to automatic.  Two other computers, called "Notebook" and "Dell", as well as the machine Windows 7 have no file and sharing printers enabled and have specifically the Server service is disabled.

    My problem is that one of the two XP client machines cannot access the working group.  Let me be clear about this: I open Windows Explorer and click on "My network places"-> "entire network"-> "Microsoft Windows network", there is then a second 5-10 break and then my workgroup name is displayed.  When I click on the name of the Working Group, there is another ~ 10 second pause and then I get a message that says error " is not accessible.  You might not have permission to use this network resource.  Contact the administrator of this server to find out if you have permissions.  A device attached to the system does not work. ', where is the name of my group to work for other days, after some of the computers are restarted, I find that the XP client has absolutely no problem with that; but the other now has this same problem.  In other words, the problem going on between two XP clients.

    Let's analyze: I have Windows on all PC firewall and any other firewall program.  I tried to disable the Windows Firewall and my anti-virus (temporarily), program without effect.  This may not be a problem with the way I've set up my actions because the error occurs when I try to click on the task force rather than a shared resource.  This cannot be a problem with a specific XP client because at different times, each of the two PCs worked perfectly without any changes of configuration made between the two.  It could be a problem with the server settings; but I don't see what it could be.  I tried editing

    HKLM\System\CurrentControlSet\Services\LanmanServer\Parameters and changing

    IRPStackSize from 21 to 45, then 50.  I also tried to change the size of 2 to 3.  I restarted the server and the client XP and had no effect.

    I don't have the same account of user configured on all three machines.  However, this cannot be the issue because the problem occurs when I click on the task force, before the server name is still displayed.  In addition, each of these two XP clients have connected with their existing user accounts at times.

    I tried the Wizzard of configuration network running on all four machines, without effect.  I tried a lot of things, most of which I can't remember.  I'm at the end of my mind.  Help, please.

    JW,

    Thanks for the continued support.

    By the advice of IPCONFIG, I looked at the registry for all computers and found EnableProxy wasn't there.  According to the documentation by default to 0, which is what we want.  However, I added it to all the computers and left it set to 0 and restarted the computer.  The node Type still said 'unknown '.

    Thanks for the info on the master browser.

    The ""Network location cannot be reached"when you access actions."
    the article talks about Windows 2003 Server and none of the symptoms mentioned relate to this situation.

    The "network adapter advanced troubleshooting for Windows workstations" is on hardware troubleshooting.  I think that it's probably not a problem because the computer has no trouble to access the internet, which is not possible if the card network are not working.

    I went through the AutoCorrect entry to reset the TCP/IP stack, even if the article describes symptoms such as difficulty to access the internet...  And...  THIS MARKET!

    After re-booting, the PC that was in trouble can now access the working group.  All other PCs can always too (have not tried to restart all over again).  AWESOME!  I can't thank you enough!

    I re-post if the syptoms happen; but for now, we can consider this issue RESOLVED.

    Thank you 1 million,
