With that space in there? (UNC names don't support that unless you
quote it but a ServerName wouldn't have a space anyway.)

Can you ping? Can you net view the machine?

Try an explicit use:
net use * \\MachineName\c$

Add in an explicit authentication:
net use * \\MachineName\c$ /user:SharedMachineOrDomain\UserOnShared

Does it change anything if you connect with the shared machines
IP address:

net use \\192.168.0.1\c$ <<<---use real IP

Try the above with the explicit authentication as above with the
machine NAME...

net view \\MachineName <<<-----no spaces

Copy all of the results from the screen as TEXT (not graphics)
and post it so that we can see commands and error messages.

Can you connect to the share from the SAME machine (as
where the share is located)?

Show us your "IPconfig /all" for both the 'client' and the
'server' machines involved (server is one with the share,
client is the one connecting TO it.)
