Add multiple folders, to delimit the access rights for different users. In order to quickly share the folder, open its properties and check Shared Folder. Here you can add users and change the law in the Sharing & Permissions.

A little trick: Create a special user accounts on behalf of which will connect to your folders. This account will not have any files on the disk, but will be used to access network folders.

After following the steps I was able to connect my macbook to imac via airport or internet. Airport icons from both teams have changed the format, but still can not see the files between them. What I need for total connection I took a look to share and network and I clarified. Should I play something in real tcp / ip. Apart from being unable to use the remote with keynote now that I have received a airport card for ibook, I cannot use the internet connection imac. The tricky thing is to do mac to pc, mac as a server using the Internet to give the pc. I end up leaving because they do not get desperate things to the pc with windows xp.
