Permissions for user on networked machine

SOLVED: Permissions for user on networked machine

We have a simple network with only 2 computers (Vista 32bit Home Premium). We want to share some folders on one of the machines with only one user on another of the machines.

However when I try to add permissions to the folder, I can only apply permissions to the users on the machine the folder is on, not to the users on the other machine. The Location field in the permission dialog box only shows the machine that the folder is on.

How can I apply permissions to an individual user on a networked machine other than the one the folder is on?

Thanks!

Problem solved on another forum. Moved the data out of the public folders into a different folder, and then shared that folder.

I had tried this before but couldn't get it to work. What I didn't realise was that I needed to create a matching account on the machine that had the folder so that I could access the shared folders

Me, I have to add everything on my vista rig TO the public folders so it can shared via XPpro,WIN7,Win2000
