The very strange problem about Win XP and Win 2K server

We have 2 win 2K server, If we run by "\\server01" or "\\10.0.0.1\d$"
command on a Win 2k PC by "Administrator".
There are all logged on OK, but if we run above command from a Win XP PC.
One can be logged on and another cannot
logged on by "Administrator". using another user log on OK.
who can tell me why?

Thanks.

Domain or not?
Are you meaning logged in with machine local Administrator
account in all cases ??

W2k will recognize account that is named same and with same
password as one that exists on itself if one attempts remote
access while logged into another machine with the account
defined on that other machine that matches in name and password.

There are no domains. My local machine & the 2 servers are all "workgroup".
My local machine is logged in "txm" not "administrator" and the system is
Win XP sp2.
I access the 2 servers by command "\\10.0.0.1\d$" and "\\10.0.0.2\d$" using
"Administrator" user. One is OK but another one cannot. The 2 servers are
all "Win 2K Server" systems.

Thanks.

"Administrator"
but can connect by other user. It is very strange.

If I changed machine that runing Win 2K to connect the 2 servers all OK!
It is very strange.

Sounds to me like account Administrator exists on one of the servers
but has been renamed on the other.
You also could have an issue where you know the password for the
Administrator account on one but not on the other.
If all of the above do not apply, then on the one where you cannot
access it is possible that the Administrator account has been disabled
for network access, leaving it useful only for local console login.
