Question

I have many pcs under a domain. how do I share files between 2pcs only (both running xp)?

Answer 1

Since you are on a domain and not a workgroup it's a little easier.  THere are two ways to set up shares.  When in a domain enviorment there are addtional tasks when setting up a share that allows for setting of permissions.

Set up a share on the machine you want to share files to/from.  

To share a folder or drive

Using Shared Folders

Open Computer Management (Local).

In the console tree, click Shares.

Where?

Computer Management

System Tools

Shared Folders

Shares

On the Action menu, click New File Share.

Follow the steps in Create Shared Folder.

You will be prompted to select a folder or drive, type a new share name and description of the shared resource, and set permissions (This is where you can select who gets access). After you provide this information, click Finish.

Notes

To open Computer Management, click Start, and then click Control Panel. Double-click Administrative Tools, and then double-click Computer Management.

You must be a member of the Administrators or Power Users group to use Shared Folders.

Using Windows Explorer

Open Windows Explorer, and then locate the shared folder or drive to which you want to add a new share name.

If you are logged on to a domain, do the following:

Right-click the shared folder or drive, and then click Sharing and Security.

Click Share this folder.

Set any other options that you want, set permissions )The who gets access part) and then click OK.

Answer 2

right click over the folder>sharing and security>check share this folder

and in the permissions >just add the users you want them to access this folder

it's simple with domain
