Question A question about a small office network

This should be easy, but I can't seem to get it.

I have an office networked with 3 different work groups... one for each business that shares the office. All computers are running XP Pro and all 3 workgroups show up in My Network Places. So far, so good.
The problem is that anyone can access any of the networked computers... in our work group, as well as the other two.

I'm SURE there's a way to have my work group SHOW in My Network Places, but NOT be able to access the computers in my work group with out a password. Where is the setting to assign a password to my specific work group?

Thanks in advance for any help!

Hi Estochin, welcome to the PC Help Forum.

I'd personally set it up a bit differently. Get a pretty decent server, and have it run 3 virtual servers, each with it's own domain - each company with its own domain.

This is definately the most effective, and most secure way of doing what you're after I believe.
