Security/Permissions Question

Hope someone can help me with this question: I want to allow a computer (no a user) to have access to a folder on my server. The server and computer are both part of the same domain. Basically I want anyone that is logged into this computer to see the folder but not when they are logged in from thier desktop. I have the computer listed with full rights to the folder (through permissions and security) but it just doesn't work. Has anyone done this before?
