Default Signing Out Of Shared Folders

Let me try to explain this as best I can...

Two weeks ago, I purchased a switch to network two desktop PCs
together. I used the network setup wizard on both machines to
create a single workgroup. In that workgroup, both PCs have their
shared folders available, and one machine is sharing a printer and
an extra folder as well.
I found out a way to password protect each machine on the network,
but, for security sake, I would like to find a way for a given
machine to sign-off of the network without logging off, or
rebooting. So far, that is the only way I know how to close a given
machine's network connection.


Go into your network control panel and disable the network device. No
traffic can go through a network if the network device is not active.
