XP Home Networking

[rexroni]

I have been looking for a good site that explains how to setup a home network using XP home edition. All the information I find is always using XP Pro so I go along and come to options/functions I dont have.

I found this site in another post
http://www.practicallynetworked.com/...ring/index.htm
which when I read it sounded exactly what I needed but there are security options that XP Home does not have or I can not find.

So I guess my question is - is there a HowTo site on setting up a home network using XP Home Edition.

Thanks

1. Disable Simple Filesharing
Rightclick on a folder and select "unblocking". Then select the users who should get access to this folder!

2. If you want to give everybody in the network access to a folder, the best is to activate the guest user. It is normally disabled
That's how to do:
Start->Settings->"Systemcontrol"(or what it is called in engl.)->management
->lokal security(-"line")
then:
lokal directives->assign user rights

then search for:

disable access from network to this pc

and open it. then delete the user guest in there.

than search for:

access this pc from network

open it and add user guest


then it should work, for everybody.(if that's what you want!)
