I've made the switch from a hardware tech to a network guys and i'm sort of new at this. I need to create folders for 30 students here in my college. I need to have each student to have access to only their own folder and the professor to have access to all folders. There are public lab computers so i do not want them to login..... My problem is that i have a windows 2000 server and i don't want to setup active directory. This server is on a network receiving an ip from another server. I don't know if i'm making any sence, but i'd like to have the students access there folder through the run command....ex... \\computer_name or ip\jsally and then have the user name and password box to come up that directs them to their folder... i hope this made sence.. Thanks John
