[[Forwarded to WinXP Networking NG via crosspost]]

I implemented the Classic Share via disabling Simple File Sharing on WinXP pro on all nodes. 2. I created a user accts for each user on every node in Lan (with their pswds) and gave each user a shared folder on each node with pertinent share permissions and NTFS group access. 3. I created another user limited acct named BrowseWeb and did not give it a pswd nor did I create any new folders with access permissions nor any NTFS access rights for said user acct. However I surmise the acct's Documents and Settings folders created by the system for the BrowseWeb acct would be lan accessible except I did not give this user acct a pswd and I disabled the guest acct on all nodes. So while using this acct to browse the internet, it is not possible to access another node. This all seems to work well, and I surmise I am somewhat more secure than I was with no passwords. And now I can designate which folders I want shared by which users as opposed to all users seeing any shared folders outside of their Documents and Settings folders. Of course I have a NAT router and use AES encryption with a very long key on the wireless port. |
