Computer not appearing on

I have two computers (both XP Pro) as a small network. named PC1 and PC2. I
have shared a folder named ShareFolder inside PC1's My Documents.
ShareFolder's permissions are currently set to Everyone which lets me see
this folder on PC2's My Network Places.

But I want a specific permission set so that only PC2 can access this
folder, and not another PC which may be hooked to the network off and on.

When I go into Permissions for ShareFolder and click Add, all I see is the
current PC1 and not PC2. I clicked Locations, but even there only PC1 is
appearing. How can I make the permissions so that only PC2 can access
ShareFolders.

Thank you very much for your help.

Hi
Permissions are set per user Not per computer.
If you are using static IPs you can ban computers by their IP through the
software Firewall.

Thanks Jack. I forgot to mention that. On PC1 there's only one user account
called PC1User and on PC2 there's only one user account called PC2User. Like
PC1\PC1User and PC2\PC2User. How can I see PC2\PC2User under Locations?
Thank you very much.
