Cannot access \\ip adress\C$ from Win2k3 server to Win2k server- workgroup

I cannot access \\ip adress\C$ from Win2k3 server to Win2k server, which is justin workgroup mode.
I can access from Win2k server to that workgroup win2k server box, but not from any win2k3 server.
I can ping\access from workgroup box to win2k3 server, but not viceversa.

In says, you are not authorized to logon using this account......something like this error.
I am trying to use local win2k server -local adminitartor login or admin priviledge login and it errors.

please help.

Thanks

\\ip adress\C$ is an administrative share.  Only a user with administrators rights can access this share from remote computer.  You said you attempted the access from a win2k3 local administrator account. Ref Rido78, does the win2k3 local administrator account exist on the win2k box and does it have administrative rights?

Thanks for the response.
Remember, the machine i am trying to connect to is win2000 server standalone box, it's not part of any domain, just workgroup. Box has 2 NICs and one going to another win2000 server and second NIC connected to Win2003 Server.
I can connect with \\ip address\c$ from win2000 sever domain machine to win2000 workgroup machine-no problem.
But, i CANNOT connect from win2003 server domain machine to win2000 workgroup machine.


Note: When i say domain machine, i only mean member of another domain, not domain controller. In fact, the domain controller behaves the same way, too.

The local admin account is created on win2000 workgroup box. i am trying to use same local admin account to map the admin share.

Help... Its driving me crazy.


I'm getting a bit confused, so I'm suggest to use the following names for the machines:
- W2003-d = Windows 2003 server in domain
- W2000-d = Windows 2000 server in domain
- W2000-w = Windows 2000 server in workgroup-mode.
You want to connect to the W2000-w machine. You succeed when you try to connect from the W2000-d machine but you fail when you connect from the W2003-d machine. The W2000-w machine is connected to the other machines using a crosslink-cable or a hub/switch (no routers whatsoever) Am I correct?

If so, then I wonder if both W2000-d and W2003-d are in the same domain, same forrests or have another trustrelationship. Furthermore I would like to know what the IP-adresses and subnets are from both NIC's in the W2000-w machine and the routingtable (ROUTE PRINT) would be usefull as well.
