Try an explicit authentication:

net use * \\serverName\c$ * /user:Domain\UserName

It will ask for the password...and if you have an account and
password with access it will authenticate and map the share.

IF it works, the chances you are you machine has lost it's
own authentication in the domain -- you may also have a
DNS (name resolution) problem.
