Network Sharing Permissions

[tmlavy]

I have a small network (not a homegroup). I am trying to share a file with one computer but block access to the same file for another computer. (2 computers 2 different permissions). The problem i am having is when i try to add a new user the only location is allows me to select is my local machine. :devil:

Seem as though all your machines depends upon local administration since they are not part of a domain.

How about if you join both computers to the same workgroup?

PC w/ the file (workgroup)> ACCESS
PC you want to access the file. (workgroup)>ACCESS

PC you do NOT want to have access (workgroup)NO ACCESS. Or just leave it with its default settings of WORKGROUP.

It would be nice if you stated what Platforms your PC's were running on as well?

Why not have all the pc's in a homegroup. Here's the tutorial link. It also gives you the link for networking outside of homegroup.

A Homegroup would be great if i could share a file with one computer and not the other

The user name situation is that computer A & B have the same user name the computers names are all different. C has a different user name.

This dose not help me at all. I know how to set permissions my problem is setting a different permissions for different computers on my network. This link only tells how to create a group and add users to it, then set permissions for the group (not what i need).

Here's a link for adding all your pc's to the workgroup. When you can do that you should be able to control pc access to specific folders. This refers to what Mudd was talking about. Just make sure all the pc's share the same workgroup name. By default it is WORKGROUP.

Join or create a workgroup

To my knowledge you can select a specific pc.

There has to be someone on here who knows what they are talking about. First of all when you are connected to a homegroup your connected to those computers no matter what, It dosnt matter what workgroup you are in. Second "specific people" meaning a specific user on the local machine not on the homegroup. You can set a permission for "everyone" but that applies to the whole network not a specific computer. To set a permission for a specific computer the location to be searched has to be changed from the local machine (which is the only option in permissions window) to a machine on the network. Thanks for the replies but if you dont know what you are talking about then save me time and dont post!!!

copied this from another post it may help. essentially you should be able to create a second homegroup. I have not tried myself but it may help.

Go to Network and Sharing center. Change network type from Home to Public. Click Close.

Click "Change Advanced sharing settings". Click OK or Cancel

Change network type back to "Home" and then press Next. It should create a new Homegroup automatically.

This only worked for that guys because someone elts on his network already created a homegroup. He wasnt a part of the homegroup him self. He wasnt acually connected to 2 homegroups. Did you not see my last post?

I feel your pain buddy. I've been trying to track down the answer to this for a couple of hours

How to set permissions for specific remote user in Windows 7? - Super User

It looks like the "Locations" list in the permissions sharing window cant be used for what we are after.
