How to block one computer from LAN without blocking everyone else
I'm running a pretty simple LAN network. I have a D-link DGL-4500 and about 2 computers running constantly on the WORKGROUP network (plus an old D-link router that I disabled the DHCP server on to run as a switch for my PS3 and Xbox). I want to share two certain folders with anyone that brings their computer over, but block my roommate from being able to access these folders. When I turn on Password Protected Sharing, anyone that comes over is prompted for a username and password, and instead of giving them the info each time, I would love to simply block my roommates computer alone. Something like \\VENTO is an exception to the everyone full access rule.
I have my A+ certification, but permissions and such in windows 7 is a little new to me and haven't had a lot of time to fiddle with advanced network options (still trying to memorize the address range to the different classes...Anyone have a rhyming scheme?) . So any complex jargon you may have I can comprehend
Both my roommate and myself are running windows 7 ultimate. Any help is appreciated.
