Windows XP Security >> XP Home sharing and security I'm trying to help a friend who has a set of XP Pro
systems in a domain with a Win2003 SBS Server. This
domain (companyname.net) and the PCs in it happen to be on
the same LAN in their office as his wife's business, which
only has 2 PCs, both running XP Home (no domain, just the
workgroup "office"). They need to share a folder between
the 2 PCs running XP Home, but they want to make sure the
share can not be accessed from the other systems that are
part of the companyname.net domain. I know you can boot
the XP Home system in Safe Mode, and gain access to the
full security settings. The problem is, I don't know what
to add or change to make sure only the 2 systems in the XP
Home Workgroup can see the shares, and deny access to the
systems in the companyname.net domain. If I
remove "everyone", it denies access to the domain PCs, but
also denies access to the other XP Home PC. Suggestions?

Windows XP Security >> XP Home sharing and security I couldn't figure out how to add the "concerned
user" ... when I try to add, it gives me a "select
users, computers or groups" dialog box, but I can't
figure out what to enter in the "object name" field to
specify the user from the other WinXP Home PC. Anything I
put in there gets rejected as "not valid".
