    Hey,

    I haven't done networking in a while, so I need help ><.

    I have 3 computers (A,B,C) on a network.

    What I want to do is only restrict computer B from accessing shared folders/files from computer A. However, I do not have access to computer A. Is there anything in the windows configuration that will allow me to do that for computer B(running windows xp pro sp2)?

    Enable file sharing, and then on your computer A go into the options you have for sharing the file/folder (like who has access).

    Why don't you have access to computer A? Is it not in your house or you just don't have the password to log in?
