Are you trying to connect the Computer Manager to another computer, or are you just trying to access a share on another computer? If you are trying to connect the Computer Manager, all you need to do is go to
"Action" --> "Connect to another computer" and just type the computer name. If you are trying to access the share you would type the

\\computername\c$[\quote] into the address bar of Windows Explorer.

Are these computers members of the same Domain or Workgroup? Like Jmaddone mentioned, there are several ways to connect and the method could require different steps. If your not an admin or a member of the same domain, you will time out if you go to start > run and type \\computername\c$. It doesn't know where to search. If you open explorer and click the icon to map network drive, you can connect with different user credentials.

Addition to the other comments: did you enable the sharing of at least one folder on the pc you are trying to connect to?

Peace,
