Unable to connect to the network share 'x.x.x.x\ADMIN$'.

Crikey! The 1st time I try to use the converter standalone and I get this error when it trys to install the agent on the remote source! I've followed the instructions to the letter: Converter installed on XPSP3 in the same workgroup as the source XPSP3 PC. Admin a/c and password correct ( I can net use a share when sharing is switched on). Firewalls on both PCs switched off. File sharing on the source disabled (not quite sure why I have to do this, but it's in the instructions).

I get these entries in the converter-worker-1.log:

Install Agent on 192.168.2.5

Connecting to ADMIN$ on 192.168.2.5 as 192.168.2.5\administrator

SMB manager: Host could not be reached over the network to map share http://\\192.168.2.5\ADMIN$.

 

And that's it. I tried re-enabling file sharing on the source, but that made no difference.

 

What am I doing wrong? Is there a workaround? Please help!

 

Regards, Peter
