Permissions

[MaxPayne]

Hello,

Hello,

I have win XP pro SP2 NTFS with a LAN (Workgroup) and want to set permissions on a folder. I have turned off simple file sharing and have access to the permissions tab in the sharing tab or security. All the computers on the LAN have the same user accounts with same name and password for logging on each machine. When I try to add permissions to this user account I cannot see it in the list of users. I don't even see the user account on the admin machine. The only users I can see are WORKGROUP, NETWORK, EVERYONE etc... Can someone help me with the proper procedure for setting permissions on this folder? I have read a lot on the subject but every thing I read says the same thing and I think I am doing things right but it doesn't work. I am getting a little frustrated.

Security Tab. /Add
You just enter the users name in the box that then comes up, such as mike or dave or printeruser or ,well you get the drift ,unlike 2K that allowed you to choose from a list of users, another reason I hate XP.

Thanks for your reply. But unfortunately the reason I am frustrated here is that I already tried all this before posting. Each time I try to add users manually, I get a message to the fact that there is no user of that name on the machine???? and I am log on as the adminisatrator!!

Are the users listed on this machine under users, or are they domain users, in which case they wont have an account on the local machine.

go to my computer right cleck /manage/users, groups
add the name names you want here

//workgroup/share

in your case:

do this on both machines, open ...
control panels ----> Administrative tools ----> Computer Management --->
open up the Local users and Groups folder, open up the users folder, right click and add the user.

open up my computer and right click on the folder you want to share and go to the sharing tab and set your permissions.

From the machine you want to access the folder from open up the run prompt, use the syntax //workgroup/share
