Sometimes it says I don't have permission to access the resource...
sometimes it puts up a username/password dialog but never accepts any
credentials even as domain admin

Also I can sometimes see my own offline files on this other computer .. as

I can only see my computer/ or the client I log on with in network
neighborhood
