admin shares on a workgroup

Recommended Posts

i have a problem and its doing my head in! lol here it is

i have 2 xp pro machines connected by a crossover cable they both have only the administrator account and the guest account on,

they are called "one" and "two"

ones ip - 192.168.1.1

twos ip - 192.168.1.2

on one i tried mapping \\192.168.1.2\c$ and it pops up with the box for authentication, greyed out is two\guest so i enter the password and nothing happens... so i went in computer management i added the guest as a member of the administrators and tried again and still nothing

the same happens from the other machine (two to one) please help! i want to access admin shares without actually sharing the drives!! (by the way if i do share the drives i can access them no probs)

thanks for any help :)

EDIT

i entered \\two\c$ and the box came up with guest in it so i put in the ADMINISTRATOR password not the guest password and it worked!!!
