Connecting to a computer Remotely

Archived from groups: microsoft.public.windowsxp.work_remotely (More info?)

I have an XP computer that I'm trying to connect to. I click start > run
"computer's IP address\c$". Then I get prompted for a User name + Password.
I try logging in with an account that is setup on the machine and the
Administrator's account, but either work. I try using the ip
address\administrator and just administrator as the user name. The firewall
is turned off and in the Local security policy > Users Right assignment >
Access this computer for the network > everyone and administrators is
listed.



Why can't I connect to the computer's hard drive?

Granted that this shouldn't be necessary at all in Longhorn...
