server

Ok, this is my first time with windows server os. I started doing this out of curiosity.
I have a desktop running windows server os 2003 which is connected to a wifi router. I have a laptop that connects to this router wirelessly and THIS REPRESENTS A REMOTE USER.
I want to provide access to this user to a set of files ON THE SERVER.
So i create an account for this user, as Start - programs - admin tools -user manager and then the steps to create an account.
When i use this laptop, i log in as administrator as its the default account that came. Now when i want this laptop to be the user i just created on the server, HOW DO I DO THAT?
