I agree, the right answer is a windows server. With that you can assign access rights even down to file level with the right active directory security setup. A P2P windows network is not very secure. There maybe some 3rd party packages that can do that on a directory level but I believe that they will require some password level.
You can shut off the guest account on the sharing station and then setup the appropriate user name for each of the stations. Then on your share you can set permissions per each user. That can be a real hassle later but it could work.

The only way I've seen having the individualized network access (different users have access to different folders within a share) has been to save the network password. That obviously requires a further layer of security elsewhere, so I have the employees use passwords to get into Windows. A more advanced approach would be to use Novell or Windows Server, but I don't believe they really offer any advantage over simple network sharing in this company's situation. Personally, I would never use Novell, but they brought it up because someone used it before. Any recommendations? ---------- Mike Hammett Intelligent Computing Solutions http://www.ics-il.com ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- ---- WISPA Wants You!
