Hope you enjoy the forum.

The answer to your question is NO - the friend would not be able to see the others work, unless file sharing was set up between the two computers.......... to clarify, two computers in the same home on one router with no file sharing - both separate entities...........Hope that is clear for you.

kind regards, biggrin.gif
