AIUI this will only work if the two computers are in the same domain or if
you use the same user/pass on both computers. If you are on a pc logged in
as Chris and want to access another pc using the user Paul- you can't
unless
they are on the same domain.

Please let me know if you find a way round this- spent a couple of hours
and
it all comes back to what I wrote above- there appears to be no way to pass
authentication details via MMC.
