Seperate remote desktop from network
Hello, i have installed a remote desktop software and want to make this computer available for someone i work with. But don't want to get access to other computers which are connected. When i get login to this computer i could see and use all files from My Network Places. Can i do seperate this computer from network? (All computers are connected with hub.)
Why give this person remote access to your network in the first place if you don't want them to have access to your network?
If you just want to supply and support a machine with software on it for them to remotely use, if you have a Domain, just leave the machine disconnected from the domain. If this machine dosen't need to paryticipate in the local network, you could simply remove the Windows Filesharing components for the network protocols, however if this remote user has admin access to the machine, he could simply install them to regain access. If you don't have a domain and you wish all the other machines on the network to allow file sharing, the next best option would be to put a personal firewall on all of the other machines.
Do you have a domain?
What OS's are installed on your LAN?

I don't have a lan and system are used in all computeres are windows XP. Your are right that he can install Windows Filesharing components for the network protocols again after removing. Any options i can use?
LAN = Local Area Network, and if they are all connected VIA a hub, and they share files, they are on a LAN.
You will need either a supplimental firewall on each of the PC's you don't want him to be able to access or use multiple network segments to hide the remainder of your network. The firewall option would require you to buy/install a firewall on each PC, the network segment option would be as simple as purchasing a simple NAT device (like a broadband router) which will have a built in firewall. Then you can block the single IP or Mac from the rest of the network while the rest of the machines are free to openly communicate.

I have one router and hub is connected to it. You mean i can use configuration in router to set up a firewall?

It works now opssosit way as i intended, From black sheep computer can browser sharing files but from my cmputer i cannot browser thire files/folders.
I assume that because you accepted it you got it working. If not, let me know and I'll try and help diagnose the config issue.
ASKER
It is still not working.
Make sure the interface source and destination is set to LAn and the protocol is set to both.
If this still dosen't make it work, you may need to modify the default rule that allows Source: LAN.* Dest: *.* To LAN.*:WAN.* and add LAN.192.168.0.101 to 192.168.0.10x: LAN.*. Be aware that if you somehow break the configuration, there is a reset button on the router to restore the factory default settings.
