I need the reverse. When i share a folder from one ,from any system ,not server accessing the shared folder need a login .all clients are xp pro sp2 & server is 2kpro sp3 & clients cannot login as admin, only user ,it is required only once after that no login required. Anothr prblm.We connect all systems directly to router for internet access. so is the LAN file copy,etc also through the router? if yes how can it be avoided and system 2 system direct copy or access is possible?
