Blocking network shares access by IP?

Guv · 1 Jul 2007 at 15:53

As title really, is it possible to block accecss to any shares on the network by IP address?
I can only see an option in windows to remove usernames from the access list.

Using 3rd party software is fine if i need to

thanks

Can you give reasons for blocking local ip addresses as usually user restrictions are plenty. Basically I ask because some users may try to log into someone elses pc if theirs is down to retrieve files only to be denied.

I won't know the username on the pc but will be setting the IP address being used and this can't be changed.
They also wouldn't be able to use another pc to gain access.
