Drive mapping problems. Can't connect from one PC to another

[DB55185]

I've been working on this all morning and am getting nowhere. Any help would truly be appreciated.

Two computers are in our network. I am trying to set up a mapping to the C drive of Computer2 from Computer1. Likewise I am trying to set up a mapping to the C drive of Computer1 from Computer2. Basically, we want to copy information back and forth from each C drive.

How would I go about doing this? I have tried creating a share on the respective C drives(tried C and C$), but am only able to access them when logged in as administrator of the domain on each computer. If I try logging in as the user id (Cafeuser) who is going to be performing the work on these two computers I am not able to map from one computer to the other's respective C drives. It only seems to work with the domain Administrator ID.

I checked the permissions and I gave full control to the domain CafeUser ID, but it still wont let me connect under that domain logon. I am wondering if I am missing a step here.

thanks

Hi,
IIRC, the C$ ( the administrative share ) is only functional when connected as an administrator.

Does that user need access to the ENTIRE c: drive?
If so, add the user to the Admin group...

If not, map just the directories needed..

Thanks turkbear,

Still working on it though. I have created a C and a C$ share on each of the C drives and even gave the Cafeuser id Domain Admin rights over the network. I even checked the properties/security on the computer and the Cafeuser id is listed with Full Control.

However I still cant get to the c drives. When trying to attach to the computers via the browse feature, it shows the computer but when I clock on it the C share does not appear. I can't even manually connect to it using the \\server name\c( or c$) feature.

I get an error message stating an extended error has occured.
