So have you tried mapping the drive on the laptop by adding the email/password in the "map network drive" dialog? There is a use different login credentials option there.
 
ok darren i am inside on laptop and under the map command it asks for which drive i wanted mapped but the drive C doesnt show up?
glenn is that the same as what brent is talking about or darren is using?

You don't need to use c: locally, use another drive letter, maybe x: y: or z:

It's a mapping to that remote drive. Don't use lower letters as if you add a drive to the laptop it may take the drive letter from you.
 
ok then it wants a folder i think. so what do i use for that? as i understand this i am creating a non existent location to use as a destination for anything i want to transfer?
 
It should be the \\Lary-Randi\Desktop

The "Desktop" part should be what ever you named the share on the shop computer.
