Not necessary... Windows will display the username/password dialog box so you can connect as the user on the remote machine.

Just a thought... have you shared the directory where the assignments are stored? Right-click on the directory and select the Sharing option. Then browse directly to that directory from your laptop //computer_name/shared_directory_name
edit: d'oh! Just re-read your original post, and saw that you have shared the directory. In that case navigate directly to that directory, instead of just //cc/ or try //cc/c$ if that's been shared.
