     Hi everybody,
          I have observed a couple of thing while pen testing a windows network.
    While i could connect to Win2000 machines using net use command(knowing the
    admin password) i could not do so on Winxp machines. How should one connect
    to default shares in WinXp?? Also that after installing SP2 in WinXp the
    default shares are not visible. Does this mean that there are no default
    shares available. Also that can we connect to default (ADMIN$) share from
    linux?? I tried to connect using smbclient but could not. In all the cases i
    was knowing admin password.
             Thanks for any help....
