Brad,

Are your computers running XP Home or Pro? If you have XP Pro with Simple File
Sharing disabled, you can restrict access to any network resources that you
wish. With Simple File Sharing, which is optional under XP Pro and forced on
you under XP Home, any network resource accessible to anybody is equally
accessible to everybody.
