On any recent version of Windows, you should be able to simply access the share as:
\\ip\share
Assuming that 1) The Windows Firewall isn't blocking it, 2) The file sharing services are listening on that address.

I think that you need to look at the System.Management library and WMI to do it.
Here is a link to get you started:
http://www.vsj.co.uk/articles/display.asp?id=439
I would have attacked this problem by:
1. Download the Management (WMI) Extensions for Visual Studio .NET 2003 Server Explorer
2. Figure out a bit about the WMI object model and for instance try to determine the WMI path to a server
3. Play around a bit with the System.Management classes
4. Search the net for more information and examples about WMI
However, I am not 100% sure that WMI is the way to go, but it looks promising for what you want to do.
Please share any findings that you do with us.
