advise for lan sharing

[rohitkch]

Do anybody advise how we can set lat sharing for a 7 PC lan in which I want to authorize 2 PC to share all the PC's in the LAN but not to other five PC to share anything from anywhere?

This seems like a quite simple solution really, Shutdown all the sharing services on the the 5 computers you don't want to have any hosting/sharing services and disable them im the services.msc control panel. Then create limited user accounts and password protect your 5 computers for administrative access.

This should give you some basic work environments that you can control.

Then you need to create your hosting environment.

Login to the computers that will have the file shares/ services and enable them.

Create user accounts on these 2 computers for the other clients to login to the resources with.

Then specify the security on the folder shares that you wish to secure by adding the appropriate user accounts with the desired permissions. IE Read, Write, Full control, and so on.

Finally, access the 5 client computers and test the resources with the credentials you created on each of the 2 host computers.
