using net use to connect to a local folder

Hi, I’m trying to do a share on my xp, and then to map it, again on my pc.
To do so I:
1) Added a share named test on a local folder (c:\test).
2) Used: "net use l: \\MyPcName\test"
But I end up with an error:
“\\MyPcName\test is not accessible. You might not have permission to use this network resource. Contact the administrator of this server to find out if you have access permissions.
The network location cannot be reaches. For information about network troubleshooting, see windows help."

I’m trying to do a net use and not the subst because I'm try to test a code that I’m writing and should normaly connect to another pc on a domain.

Some information:
- The system is XP, sp1.
- my pc is in a workgroup.
- I have NTFS file system.
- In the sharing permissions I added my user name with all the allow permissions.
- On the folder security I deleted all of the users and only added my user with full control.
- When I type //MyPcName on the run command I can see the shared folder name, but I get the error when I try to open it.
- My user has a logon password, and I even tried to disable the "Limit local account use of blank passwords to console login only" in the Local Security Policy
-I can ping to my pc.

Can any body help me with this?

Re: using net use to connect to a local folder

okay, before I help you I need to know some things:

a.) Are you in a LAN?
b.) Did you try looking in Windows help files?
c.) Are you sure you are logged on as the same user you specified in the Shared settings?
