How do I share a folder with only one computer on a network?

You can't grant a specific "computer" access to the folder, only users.\n\nAs the previous answer mentioned, you can create a user on that specific computer and give that user access to the share, there will be downsides, if that user ever logs off that computer and another logs on, the new user won't have access. Also, if that special user logs onto a third PC, that third PC will also have access.\n\nIf you don't need the PC for anything else, what I'd recommend is to create a special user account on the PC running the program, give it a password that only you know. Give that user account access to the share, run the program, and lock the computer. Noone will know the password to unlock the PC or log onto another PC with it.\n\nThat's about your only option.

you can use \nif networed: ftp, sftp, ncftp, directory sharing, email, nfs,\nssh\n\nif not networked: floppy, cd, dvd, usb pen drive, fingers (re-type he he)

the router takes care of the hard stuff, as long as both computers are set up to dhcp then just right click properties sharing enables files and folders, then just browse the network

You can only add other LAN PC's or webfolders configuration to "My network places". It would be better to add yahoo as a shortcut to your desktop.

Are you trying to share the files at on your own personal network, or somewhere else?

if you have complete control over your computer, then dont share any folders, you can see which folders are being shared by going to local networ-> your computer ...this will list all folders that anyone can see\n\ngo to the folders by going to my computer-> whatever folder, click on the folder and go to sharing and security, un-share the folder.\n\nby not sharing any folders, you wont get anything from the other computer, this also stops people from seeing your stuff on wireless networks- if you need to share a folder, do so temporarily, and then un-share it...gl

How are you sharing the files? I've used Windows file sharing and it already does this.

If you are backing up a laptop, which seems to be what you are suggesting, you can put both pc's on the same network workgroup and share the C: drive on the laptop allowing you to copy files to the desktop hard drive.

Open your network settings and add file and print sharing. You will then have to set any files on the PCs to share. Right click on the files and you will see a sharing tab. You can share the whole drive if you prefer.

HI\n\nYou could go for two kinds of network here, i will explain you both kinds of network;\n\nIf you just want to share your files and printer you could go for PEER to PEER connection and for that you only need one "cross over" network cable and you could get it from any electronic shop.\nJust connect them to both network cards of each computer and just try to go to my computer and right click on the drivers you want to share between two computers and you are done with cabling;\nNow if you are using winxp try disabling the firewall first and than go to network connections in control panel and check what are the protocols which are added, try to remove all of them but TCP/IP protocol, now right click on tcp/ip and go to properties and there assign ip address and subnet mask and now go to second computer and do the same settings but remember you have to give same class ip address but different ip and same subnet mask needs to be used;\nNow you will be able to see other computer and if not try to ping ip address of second computer and check if its pinging or not. Ask me more or mail me if it still doesn’t works;\n\nNow I will explain about the network where you can share internet connection with a router or hub with DHCP enabled;\n\nGet a hub where you can connect the internet cable from your cable modem and connect straight cables from both the computers to that hub and now every thing is in network.\nNow go to network connections and than go to tcp/ip  protocol properties and than select assign ip automatically and do the same for other computer and now you could also share your drivers from my computer which you want to share with external computer, that’s it every thing is done and every thing will be in network for communication;\n\nEnjoy networking and for more information visit : http://www.hashdot.com

For connecting two computers and make a network , you need  a crossover network cable not a straight normal one . \nThen you must set same class ips on them such as "192.168.0.1" & "192.168.0.2" all with "255.255.255.0" subnet mask .\nWhen you set these values you can browse the other compter by its ip address .\nnote : you must enable the File sharing on atleast one computer , otherwise you can not browse your network .

If it's a firewire external drive AND the Mac and PC are part of a network then read Sharing a FireWire drive over a network.\nhttp://www.thexlab.com/faqs/sharefwdrive.html

Just create a separate folder for each user, share it, and set the security permissions on each folder so only that user and the administrator has access to it. Then the user can map it as a network drive.\n\nIf more than one user needs access to a certain share, then it would be best to create a group in active directory and only give that group access.  Then, to give a user access, you just have to add them to the group.

With the added security, you might have to ADD the other computer's Username and Password to that computer.  Then go into that folder's PROPERTIES and add the User's Permissions. \n\nYes, all accounts should have a username and password combination.  Try to keep your network sharing password protected against hackers that find your computer on the internet. \n\nGood luck and Happy Computing!

The first answer describes an easy way to view the shared folders of the computers on your network.  To view everything on a given computer by name, go to Start -> Run.  Type in &#92;&#92;computername&#92;c$ if c:/ is the boot drive of the computer (usually is).  You'll need an administrative password for that computer.

Go to my documents, click the sharing tab and mark Make this folder private.  Most Local Area Networks (LAN) can be accessed via the "My Network Places " Folder , check that out and try to see if your files are there.

If  you  want to setup a network  to share  the resource  on other computers  like for file sharing and printer sharing.  Then you will have to follow either of the two ways.\n\n1.  make  a  windows  xp Pro  or  a  Win2k pro machine as a dhcp host and connect other computers  and they would get  ip address  from the  server.\n\n2. connect  all the machines  and  assign them  ip addresses  of the same ip range with  the  similar  subnet mask.\n\nfor more info you can mail me at  paradiso_paradise@yahoo.com\n\ngood luck and regards.\n\nParadiso
