Hi,
I've been looking everywhere but I can't find my answers. I have a client of mine who has 2 different workgroup, one BIBLIO and one INTERNET. On a workstation in BIBLIO there is a drive that contains a DOS base program to manage library books and magazine, they use it all the time from three other workstations in the library.
My client wants to disable the access form workgroup INTERNET to go into the drive where COBA resides.
Now I tried to put a readonly and a full access password on the drive that the COBA(management software) resides, it worked users in workgroup INTERNET can't access the drive BUT the COBA application won't run on other workstations on the network because it doesn't recognize the request for a password, it issues an error, I looked in the application options to find a setting that would enable COBA to prompt the user for a password to access the drive, but couldn't find anyting.
Is there any way that I can make workgroup BIBLIO in "Entire Network" in network neiborghood, disabled from users in INTERNET, could I make it invisible to users in INTERNET? is there any software available for that? what are my options?
Remember I can't put any password to the drive where COBA resides, this is very important! I have block access to users in INTERNET to go into workgroup BIBLIO.
I thought of creating different IP address, but all computers use high speed broadband internet access which the settings for access is based on IP and DNS addresses.
My last resort is to create two different network, presenlty all workstation are hooked up a single hub.
Any help would be greatly appreciated!!!
