    I networked 5 pcs(windows xp peer to peer), everything is working fine, all are connected, sharing file and printer and internet. What I want is to disable file and printer sharing to one pc but still want it to share internet. Is it possible?

    on the subject PC, go to the firewall, add four rules and move them to the top.

    deny source port 137
    deny dest port 137
    deny source port 445
    deny dest port 445

    Thanks jobeard. Let me know how to do it. I did not find where to make the rules in windows firewall.

    use the Exception tab and clear the check-mark on File & Printer Sharing.

    anything with a check-mark is ALLOWED access, so maybe you review and prune others accesses as well.
