Thank you for the quick reply Steve.

I have tried those things, to no avail.

Actually I should be more specific about my problem...
I am trying basically to access the hidden share of the
C drive. As in "\\computername\c$" without having to
actually share the entire drive.

>From XP to XP machine I have no trouble what so ever...
I just type that into the address bar, input username and
password when prompted and viola. But for some reason when
I do the exact same thing from 2000 to XP I get the above
mentioned problem.

Thanks again for your assistance,

Thad
