Opening a remote share from Vista

How do you do this please?

My dad has Vista on the new computer. What we need to do is open a share to the old one. EG from my XP machine I would just do

START - RUN -- and type in "\\192.168.x.x\c$" or whatever.

That doesn't seem to work in Vista though, it just starts a search. I did manage to do it when I was sat at the computer over Christmas, but now I am not there any more and can't remember how.

So, how do you do it? (Don't worry about the remote end, that is set up, it's just the Vista bit I need to know.)

    Do you want to share a folder over the network or internet?
