Heres the basics of what im trying to do...

I have a wireless router in my house, which has 3 other computers connected to it, alls working fine. I have also made a wireless link to my neighbour accross the road which is also fine. What im trying to do is to set a password box up when I try to connect to my neighbours computer so that only I can have access to it and not the rest of my family on there computers......
 
turn of simple file sharing on the nieghbours machine.
Select the folders you want to share (to be able to access from your machine)
right click->properties->sharing tab

from here you can specify this folder is to be shared ut only user xxxx can access it.

Now when you try to connect to the shared folder on your nieghbours machine you will get a user prompt (you may need to map the shared folder to a drive using the different user name and password; do this through tools-> map network drive)
