Accessing a WorkGroup Computer from Domain Member Computer
I have a computer named Windows7 that I am trying to connect to it from a Domain member computer using UNC path \\IPaddress\C$
I get the pop window to enter credentials. I type in Windows7\Myadmin then password for Myadmin , but I cannot connect.
If I go to Windows7 computer I type Myadmin and Password then I can login.
Also, From Windows7{Workgroup} i can connect to the Domain Member computer using UNC path \\Computer\C$.
I get a popup for username and password.. I type in \\DomainName\Username then password.
I am not sure what could be the issue.
Any help will be appreciated.
Thank you

the computername must be windows7
and the user myadmin must be a member of the administrators group to access c$
try
the share should populate with the drive letter coming down from Z:
if you get an error 43 then it is an authentication error..
Let me know
and the user myadmin must be a member of the administrators group to access c$
try
net use * \\windows7\c$ /user:windows7\myadmin /savecred

@Noah, that is nonsense. A Trust is between domains, not machines.
@jskfan, \\DomainName\Username is no valid account. You probably mean DomainName\Username.
The popup tells "Access Denied", and that means the account is authenticated properly (account name and password are correct), but that account lags admin privileges, as stated by David. If you do not want to make that account a local admin, create a new share (because you cannot change privileges for automatic generated c$ etc. shares), and allow access for the user.

Try turn off the firewall on windows 7 computer and try connect again.

Thank you Guys for your inputs
Myadmin account is member of the local Administrators group in Windows7
form another computer that is member of the domain, I am typing
\\Windows7\c$ , I get a pop screen to enter username and password. I type Windows7\Myadmin and password. However it does not connect me to \\Windows7\c$

Could be a smb 2.0 problem, can you check if the 7 system can map to the domain using user:domain\user password?
If no, could be smb 2.0 vs 3.0
If no, could be smb 2.0 vs 3.0

From Windows7 to any Domain Member, there is no problem.... but not the other way around
can you map it to the IP? \\10.2.3.\hiddenshare?

I used \\ipaddress\c$
I get a pop up to type in username and password, and typed \\192.168.254.167\administ
