Permissions on files and directories, Shares.

I am assuming you are talking about a home network. If so you are probably using workgroups. In a workgroup environment you would need to create the Same username and password on each machine or you would have to give GUEST access. Workgoups do not have a centralized user database that is why you would need to create the user on each machine. ALso You should make each pc belong to the same workgroup.

Why connect it to the machine, why not use a $10 Ethernet switch if the cable run is too far.
