Can't access Windows XP workstations in workgroup

[Nolan]

I have a 20 workstation peer-to-peer network. All
workstations are Windows XP Pro with all patches.

I set myself up with a local admin account w/password on
each desktop.

When I want to map a drive to c$ or ipc$ or RDP, I get an
authentication error.

Any thoughts?

TIA,

Nolan

Hi Nolan,

what happens if you try it like this:

net use x: \\remote_pc\c$ /username:administrator password

where:
x: is name of network drive
remote_pc is name of remote Windows XP PC
/username:administrator (here replace administrator with real username if
other then administrator)
password (replace with real password for administrator account.

Remember to put in the name and password or _remote_ PC!

Try with replacing:

/usename:administrator with /username:computername\administrator

computername = remote Windows XP PC e.g.

/usernamec1\administrator password
