Abstract
A system is provided for a user to safely use a computer apparatus in places where securities are not assured. In a notebook type computer apparatus enabling external transmission via a predetermined network connection among a plurality of network connections, security information is set in association with a network connection to be used by a security setting and recording device by a user operation with an input device; the security information set by the security setting and recording device is stored in a security information database; security switching device controls a file sharing service based on the security information stored in the security information database such that accesses from other network connected computers to shared file resources is terminated.

15. A Portable information equipment comprising:
-
a switch which enables external transmission via a network to be connected at a place to which said portable information equipment moves;
a security setter and recorder which determines how to control the sharing of resources on the network; and
a security switch which stops access to a shared network resource from an external apparatus via the network based on the setting provided by said security setter and recorder, independent of the sharing attributes of the network resource;
wherein the network resource is selected from the group consisting of a folder and a drive. - View Dependent Claims (16, 17)
