Logging On the Workstations Hard Drives

When I used WIN2K, I could attach to users hard drivers by type
\\IPaddress\C$. Now with XP Service Pact 2, when I type \\IPaddress\C$, it
will only allow me to log on as Guest. I have the Guest account disabled on
the computer too.



How can I connect to the computers and logon as Administrator, or any other
user on the computer?

Turn the windows firewall off

Hi

Possibly a ForceGuest issue...

WinXP in a workgroup setting defaults to authenticate all connections coming
from "the network" as the Guest User (only possible to change on WinXP Pro).
