    setting permissions in a workgroup
    « on: November 10, 2008, 05:16:27 AM »
    hi, i run a domain based network but four pc's arnt in it (due to highly confidential data on their machines); in fact, its so confidential they're on a different network range altogether and only use our network for the internet via their router.

    however, they now want to share folders in the workgroup; i know i could add every user in that workgroup on every pc but its all a little messy; however, i know the "manage my network passwords" will also allow me to do it but i cant make it work... can anyone shed some light on it... thanks
