I just tried that and it still did not work. Any other ideas?

If you have simple file sharing enable then all incoming connections are
under the guest account, and you must allow access for guest. The C$ share
is for admins only. So either disable simple file sharing or make a new
share.

Thanks for the info. I'll try it without simple file sharing.
