Typing something like net start [ip] might work, and then you can connect to them as a network place. This works on my university network for people sharing folders.

you need to include two blackslashes before the ip or computer name. the host will need to have file sharing enabled.

Using \\ip or computername gives me an error but \\computername or ip\C$ works fine for me. Now only to test this with a friend.

yours connects to the default hidden admin share.

mine will show a list of available nonhidden shares included scheduled tasks and printers.

If the computer is running terminal services it should.
