Re: XP access administrative share

I experiencing a quiet strange problem.
I installed a xp pro, not connected to any domain. but I still can
access to the DC by \\server\c$ after being asked for user and
password.
But when I try to connect to a regular xp workstation, or vista
workstation I get
" logon failure: the user has not been granted the requested logon
type at this computer."
"use simple sharing" is disabled on both sides.
But, I if do a network map, specifying the user and password, it
works.
So why doesn't it asks for user/password after typing "\\my.pc\c$" ?
It worked fine before the windows 2000-> XP upgrade.
Any ideas ?

When you type in the username/password --> are you typing it in
"computername\username" and then the password of said user on the remote
machine? (Where computername is the computer name of the machine you are
trying to connect to.)
