I battled out this one in the computer lab where I worked a few months ago.
see if these help you out. I believe they helped me.

Hi
Concerning
As per ADMIN$
The ADMIN$ share is a default share of %SystemRoot%, where permissions
are set such that administrators (local and/or global) only can access
it. Changing the permissions is not a straightforward thing to do
(sid2user, user2sid might come in handy).
some "defaults":
ADMIN$ = C:\windows
ADMIN$ = C:\winnt
Security Tweak
These shares can be removed[1], however this should not be done on larger
networks running SMS or MOM.
As per IPC$

Hmmm...there are 7 different kinds of IPC's on a standard windows environment,
for a short list see the introduction in [2].
Here, the IPC$ is a resource share, which shares the named pipes of IPC, which
can be used to remotely administer a computer[3] or to create a null connections
(which is a "first step" ... enum[4])
Security tweak
Disabling null connections[5]
Remove IPC$ Share Remote Netbios Attack Vulnerability
1. Open Regedit
2. HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE -> System -> CurrentControlSet -> Control -> Lsa -> restrictanonymous
3. Change "Value Data" from 0 to 1
4. This will disable remote logon to a null IPC$ share
/edit: I was slightly careless not to test that tweak (now I did).
Setting restrictanonymous to 1 still allows to gather some information.
Starting with Windows 2000 and later, one can set
3. Change "Value Data" from 0 to 2
Cheers
P.s. I wanted to keep this one short, but somehow, I never succeed

You can also set the value "forceguest" in the same place to 0 and it will allow you to connect with a different user name and password ( it does not work on xp home though )

Tried the simple stuff yet? like making sure you can connect to another share on the remote computer, try creating another share and connection to it using your admin credentials, i remember when i started playing with windows shares that i had left my firewall on and it was blocking the traffic, with the way i set my rules it refused to let the data through so if you have a firewall switch it off and try again, don't forget if your running WinXP with SP2 the firewall is on by default and i don't have a machine handy to see if it blocks SMB access by default.

Set up new accounts on both machines with the same username and passwords. Then try and connect, you should have no problem (if the sharing is set correctly). If you cannot reach the remote machine you have a problem somewhere else.

If I am reading this right:
NOTE: This is for administrive purposes only! I really want to connect to my other computer, but when i get the prompt up this is the username HOST\Guest.
I try the admin password, but it won't work. And i can't change the username either.
And you are using XP go to My computer --> Tools --> View --> Uncheck Use Simple file sharing.
Then you wont get the prompt with Host\guest.
