You can set your security level for accessing other computers on the network. For example if you want to get a file from the Windows computer "johnd_windows" and the user johnd has set permissions on his system so that a user who wants to access his file must supply a user name and password, you must set you security level to "user". You can choose one of the following security levels:
serverauthenticates your workgroup name through a remote (network) server
userthe computer you access over the network asks you for a user name and password
sharethere are no file access permissions restrictions on files or computers you want to access
If your network has a server that authenticates passwords (used for server level security), you must specify the password authentication server's IP address.
