| | Write permission for just 1 computer in LAN Hello, I have a small network at home with 4 computers. My main computer is "Bob". Another computer on which I work is "Paul". I want "Paul" to be able to write, delete and modify files on "Bob". But I don't want the 2 other computers to have this permission. How can I set this up? Thanks in advance, Gz |

| | Re: Write permission for just 1 computer in LAN Hi Permission and sharing would work according to the way you configure each individual computer. Make sure that the Software Firewall on each computer allows free local traffic. If you use 3rd party Firewall On, Vista/XP Native Firewall should be Off, and the active Firewall has to adjusted to your Network IP numbers on what is some time called the Trusted Zone (consult your 3rd Party Firewall instructions.

Log onto "Bob" and "Paul" with the same user account (matching user name and password). Log onto the other computers with a different user account. -- Best Wishes, Steve Winograd, MS-MVP (Windows Desktop Experience) Microsoft Most Valuable Professional Program http://mvp.support.microsoft.com |
