Deny One PC on network from access

I have a network setup.
1 - Wired router with 3 PC's 1 - Wireless router with 1 PC and 1 laptop
Everything is networked and works fine.
What I want to do is allow the wireless PC to access the internet but NOT access shared folders on the other PC's.
Is this possible?
The wireless PC has XP Pro and all other PC's have XP Home.

Make sure those shared folders have a password that the person using the wireless PC does not know.

I didn’t take notice about your Home and Pro versions. Though I have never used XP Home I can’t believe Microsoft would neglect enabling shared file protection in the operating system. I could see it back the win95/98 days but not w/ XP. Just right click on one of the shared folders and you should see "sharing and security" option. There should be a permissions button in the next window.

I think you can password protect files, you just cannot join a domain with home
