home networking

[abcd]

I have 2 machines at home connected by wirless. both works great....

MachineA = Windows XP
MachineB = Windows 2003

When I try to access \\MachineB\C$ from MachineA with the proper user
account credential it shows me the C drive of MachineB

When I try the similar \\MachineA\C$ from MachineB then it doesnt show me C
drive of MachineA but constantly shows me login prompt for MachineA\Guest
with disabled login and asks me to enter passwd...when I enter password for
Guest (which I set manually) it doesnt work....

Both machine are on same WORKGRUP...

Anytips...

thanks

I don't know how you are trying to map the drive, but try it this way from a
command prompt.

Net use * \\MachineA\C$ /user:username password

optionally you can omit the password and it will prompt you.
the asterik can also be replaced with the specific drive letter that you
want to use, i.e. z:
