net use

[Guest]

i have an xp machine that is not in a domain (yet) and i am trying to do some
WMI diagnostics on it before i add it tot the domain. I CAN remote desktop
into the machine but i can not map a drive through a GUI or using the net use
command. Firewall is turned off, net bios is enabled through DHCP and all
the other obvious settings are correct. I also can log into the XP machine
and map out to ANYWHERE else on the network. In event viewer it shows me
trying to connect but it says either the admin account doesn't exist or the
password is incorrect.

IDEAS?
Thanks

are you use the domain user to map the drive? or can you access it using domain administrator?

I am trying to map a drive to the XP machine from ANY other machine using the
XP machine's local administrator account. Being the machine is not in a
domain and no domain users are defined as local administrator's, using a
domain account would not (and has not) worked.
