We have an XP Pro SP2 machines which is connected on a win2k advance server.
We can access the shared folders from other PCs within our network but shared
permissions were set for everyone. We've tried to set it only for specific
users but we can't see the users within our domain. Does anyone knows how to
do this?
Any help will be appreciated

Thanks.

Shared folders on what? The workstation, or the server?

Ideally, you should keep all your data on the server, and not store (or
share) any data on workstations at all. It somewhat negates the purpose of a
centralized server to scatter data throughout the network. That said, if you
want to do this, you can..

In the properties of the share itself, make sure the share permissions are
wide open (everyone=full control).

In the security tab, you ought to be able to add individual domain users, or
domain groups - make sure you change the context to the domain & not the
local workstation.

If that doesn't work, you have some AD, DNS, or other networking problems -
post back with more detail.
 
Is the computer a member of the domain? Only domain computers or computers
in trusted domains can see domain users/groups. If it is a domain computer
check your DNS configuration per information in the KB article below for
domain computers. If the computer in question is a domain computer also
check the logs via Event Viewer to see if any errors/warnings are shown for
userenv as that usually indicates a problem locating a domain controller.
