Hi

I have two computers on my desktop network. They are net worked by cable
thru a Wireless Delink. I allow the person next door to use the internet via
the Dlink Wireless connection. I have made some folders on my computers
available to each other . How can I prevent the wireless user from accessing
these shared Folders.


Cheers Peter.

What operating system are you running? If XP, Home or Pro?

Hi

First, make sure that you are not violating your ISP rules by allowing
another household to share the Internet.

Use the max. Wireless Security that is available on both systems so other
people would not be able to get into your Network,

Configure File sharing permissions,
