"User Level Sharing" I just went with FULL sharing. My attitude is: if I wanted to administer a network full of userids, I would con some stupid corporation into paying me for the overhead. As such - and since I believe PC means PERSONAL - I avoid signing on, userids and passwords. (I would not appreciate my own PC asking me for a password. I used to administer hundreds of users and prefer to avoid the wasted effort in my own affairs. It's hard enuf to track all my userids/passwords accross the www.) I think User-level-sharing would involve: user1 can see this folder, user2 can see this folder .... or something similar based on passwords. Checking from My Computer, I show sharing options of "not-shared", or if shared: READ-ONLY, FULL, or DEPENDS-ON-PASSWORD with read-only and full-access password fields. I couldn't find anything in my setup suggesting I had to 'share' the computer itself, but I would wonder if the computer itself would show up on the network if no resources on it had been 'shared'. Suggest you make at least 1 drive on both zeus1 and zeus2 'shared'. I would guess at least 1 device on zeus2 is already shared as zeus1 can see zeus2 on the Net Neighborhood. [Side note: while I'm sure setting up windows NT at home to drive (serve?) a network is no big thing to somebody who flies NT all day long, I myself would prefer to not incur the mental overhead of NT if I can avoid it. Unless somebody can convince me that my applications will get more out of the hardware thru NT than thru W95. I was thinking that the two TradeStation tasks would be ideal candidates for the multi-tasking possible with a 2 cpu motherboard, Street Walker is not convinced that would be the case.]
