      You probably don’t have the necessary permissions on the PDC based on your account and group memberships.

      1) Can you ping the PDC?
      2) Can the PDC ping you?
      If you can ping each machine, try to connect like this \\ipaddress\share
      3) Is WINS running?
      4) Is DNS properly resolving the PDC name?

      The error you report usually indicates a name resolution problem. To confirm that, try first to ping the PDC by IP address. If that doesn’t work, you have a basic connectivity issue. If it does work, then try pinging by server name. If that doesn’t work, but you can ping by IP, you have a name resolution issue and you need to look at your WINS server.
