not able to map a Windows 2008 server shared drive.

Hello,

I try to map the c$ of a windows 2008 server (\\win2k3svr\c$) and have issue.  However, when I map using the server's IP address instead of server name, I am able to map.  

I have already check DNS, server is pingable, and host file but do not see anything wrong.  

Please advice if you have any clue.

Thank you in advance.

Thanks everyone.

After revisiting and tweak the permission settings, I am still not able to get the mapped drive from this particular win2k8 server which has two nic cards (because this is a backup server).  But other servers are able to get the mapped drive.  

Please advise again.
