Hi,

I've got 3 PCs at home. Call them A, B & C. A runs XP Pro SP2 on an NTFS
drive while B & C run XP Home SP2. Simple File Sharing on A is turned off.
All 3 PCs can see each other fine over the network and all can access the
internet fine thru the broadband DSL router (NAT). We do not have a domain.

After doing some research, it seems that XP Pro folder permissions do not
work over a network. Consider a folder on A. It seems that it is not possible
to set the permissions on the folder so a user on B can access the folder,
but not a user on C. I've tried reproducing a user on B onto A (same name &
password), and then trying to access the folder from B while logged in as
that user, but it said "Access denied".

Is this true? If XP Pro folder permissions do work over a simple
(non-domain) network, then how? I'm stumped as to how to do it.

Thanks,

Tom
