Connecting to Windows using SMB

[TarsierSpectral]

Hi,

I have a Mac with Leopard 10.5.8 and I am trying to connect to Windows machine using smb://ipaddress/C$. I get this when I try doing that
The Finder cannot complete the operation because some data in “smb://ipaddress/C$” could not be read or written. (Error code -36)
I have another MAC which works fine. Any idea what could be causing this behavior?

Stating the obvious - the drive on the Windows box must be shared and sharing must be turned on.

Or maybe:

That article refers to 10.4

The drive is shared as other Mac computers can connect to it.

I even tried binding it to a domain but that didn't help. Other computers can connect to it whether they are on a domain or not.

So am still stuck.

Thanks

A Google search on Samba Error 36 turned up a lot of Mac related hits.

yes, I know, but none are are the same as mine. That's why I posted here hoping that I might get more specific answer

I had tons of problems trying to connect to the root. but when I changed to a shared folder it worked fine. Are all the others connecting to the root?

Have you tried to connect via IP? Can each machine Ping each other?
