Subject:   what user name and share

After truning Windows File Sharing on my machine named imac-g4 I can see it Windows 2000 server by going to My Network Places -> Computers Near Me.


What's not clear to me is the naming convention I should use to connect with. When I try machine name and user name ( like \\imac-g4\admin , or imac-g4\admin ) and then the admin password I get an incorrect password or unknown user name message.


It's not clear to me what is the correct name and path convention to use.
