Do you have admin permissions on the remote computer? Is this a domain or a
workgroup?

Hi Colin

Yes I have Admin right and it's a Workgroup

Thanks

If its a workgroup that means your account (and therefore any admin rights)
are local to the machine you are logged in one. If the remote machine has
an identical username + password that also has admin rights, it should work.
Is that the case?

Can you browse to \\HOMEZEB1-IR6DQ4\C$ ? In order to connect to that share,
you would need to be an administrator. It's a good way to test.

It's also possible that the machines are authenticating you as a guest
regardless of the fact that there is a matching username+password.

Also, make sure that the accounts actually have passwords. XP has a policy
that will, by default, block remote access for accounts that have blank
passwords. This is new to XP and wasn't in NT or 2000.
