Can't "log in" to PC

So here is the backstory...
I wrote a batch file using xcopy to copy files from my laptop to my desktop PC. Both machines are running Windows XP Pro and are connected wireless through my Linksys router My problem is that when the batch file starts the copy it prompts me for login info. I dont' have any profiles set up on either machine other than the admin accounts & neither require a password.

Here is the batch code I am using:
xcopy /H /C /S /D /-Y "C:\Documents and Settings\Matt Nardi\My Documents\My Music" "\\office-desktop\C$\Documents and Settings\Administrator\My Documents\My Music"

I can ping both machines from the cmd prompt using their respective machine names. (Matt-Laptop & office-desktop). I can't remember if I set them up as static IP's via my router though, would that make a difference?
I have also attached the log-in prompt.

Thanks in advance!!!

Thanks, that helped somewhat. I can now access the laptops c:\ drive from my desktop. But I still can't access my desktop c:\ drive from my laptop. Any other thoughts?

Thanks Again!

Did you do this on both computers? Also, make sure the firewall isn't turned on on the desktop or if it is, its allowing file sharing traffic.
