I have a small home network set up, 2 computers and a laptop, i have an external drive for the laptop but i am going to hook it to one of the desktops so i dont have to fight with the damn cables and etc on the laptop. The only thing is i dont want my brother and sister to have access to drive... is there a way i can share the drive with the laptop only and not the other desktop?
Dont know if it helps but,
Router is LinkSys WRT54G v5
All computers run Xp Home

Set up a domain, domain controller, add your brother's and sister's users to a certain group, set perms on the group for no access to the folder. Create your own user, set perms on that for full access.
The only way I can think of right now.

how the hell do i do that...? some of the other things people have said are...
\"I\'m not familiar with Home, but in Pro you can turn off simple file sharing and then give appropriate rights to the share. That way you have to specify a user/pass to connect/map the shared drive.\"
\"You can also play around with the firewall rules and only give file and printer sharing access to the computers IP address that you want to have access. You will need to use static IP\'s for this setup.\"
Nfi how to do any of that <img src=\'http://www.killanet.net/forum3/public/s ... #>/cry.gif\' class=\'bbc_emoticon\' alt=\':(\' />

I've heard something along the lines of the first one but as for the second one, I have no clue.
Setting up a domain is a very complicated way of simply blocking access to a file or a folder, but a very effective one. To set up a domain you'll need either Windows 2000 or Windows NT (I think) or Windows 2003. It's a shame you can't do it with XP.
May I suggest a rather blasphemic way, and read the *gasp* Windows Manual on file sharing.
