Home networking help needed.

[ooEy]

Im having some issues setting up suitable file sharing at home.

Ill try and make as much sense as i can......

I have 4 Systems on my network:

1: PC XP Pro SP2

2: Laptop Vista HP

3: Laptop Vista HB

4: PC XP Home

What id like to do is have folders shared only between 1 & 2 (most folders being on 1).

I have tried setting up a workgroup between 1 & 2 but 3 still sees and has access to files.

I am using a Netgear DG834N. I also have a spare DG834G knocking about (could i set up 2 diff networks?).

Contrary to how this post makes me sound, im usualy pretty clued up when it comes to PCs but this has baffled me....

Could i just block ports for file & printer sharing on the router to the 2 IPs of the PCs i want restricted ?


Thanks in advance.....

OMG ITS MIDNIGHT! IVE BEEN AT IT FOR HOURS!

Can i run 2 routers of 1 Internet connection and create 2 seperate/private networks?
