How to selectively allow access to a workstation

Archived from groups: microsoft.public.windowsxp.security_admin (More info?)

Hi,
if I understood you OK, both computers (Win2000 and the new laptop) aren't a
part of the domain ?
If so, create users on both computers that have identical passwords;
If you log on to Win2k with User1 and you log on to Xp laptop with User2,
create User2 on his Win2k and create User1 on his Xp laptop.

NOTE:____________________________________________
if you have blank passwords, take a look at the following article:

or

____________________________________________

Disable simple file sharing on WinXp
(http://support.microsoft.com/?id=307874)
and set the permissions and security (Explained in the article mentioned
above )

If I misunderstood you or I wasn't clear please feel free to contact me.
