Stan,

There aren't any detailed instructions that I know of, as there are simply 
too many nuances to fit into a simple HOWTO.

In general, secure MS networking should be done via NetBEUI, .. turning OFF 
'NetBios over TCP/IP'. There can be issues, however - what if you want to 
share a folder over wireless? Can't be done without TCP/IP, unfortunately.

MS file sharing is so risky that if you CAN live within a single subnet, 
you're far better off going NetBEUI. If you need files outside your subnet 
(i.e. across a router), I would recommend scp.
