On the machine you are trying to connect TO you will need to create a shared directory or drive and set security levels accordingly.
On the machine you are going to connect WITH you need to MAP a new drive to \\OTHERMACHINEIPADDRESS\NAMEOFSHAREDDIRECTORYORDRI VE
As long as you have correct security rights you should be able to use the default admin share of \\MACHINEIP\C$
Hope this helps.

i think you did it!
now on my laptop i went to "my network places" and searched for computer name, and typed in my desktop name. it came up so i double clicked it and there was my shared folder!!
now 3 questions:
1. when i accessed my desktop from my laptop it did not ask for a login/pass at all, it just connected! I checked security and it says firewall is on and will not allow outisde sources to connect. So does this all sound right? or can anyone who guesses my pc name log in?
2. is there a way to share my IE favorites folder?
3. when i right click on a folder and set it to be shared, it seams to be coppying all of its contents into my shared folder. is there a way i can just put shortcuts to folders so i dont eat up all that disk space?
thanks so much, you guys made this task a peice of cake!
