Hi All,

              In UNIX Share there is a option to restrict computers to allow or deny for accessing share. !!

Is the same feature available for Windows Shares too ?

Hi,

Check if IPSec can help on this:

If a domain, have you tried creating a group for computers that should have access and add that group to the share?

The windows firewall can allow access to ports/services based on group membership, but that's for SMB in general, not individual shares, which is the same problem with IPsec.
