If you go to the box itself and go to a cmd prompt then enter NET SHARE
you will see a listing of ALL the shares including the hidden admin
ones.

Or alternatively right click "My computer" and choose Manage then view
the Shared Folders | Shares where you'll see them too.

If you want to connect to a hidden share, you have to explicitly do so
by using the full UNC path such as \\somecomputer\c$. The $ is only
used locally by explorer to not show the share. Bit daft really as if
you do a network trace and query the remote machine share table, you see
the full list returned but explorer only shows those without the $ so
hidden shares are only useful if there's nobody able to sniff the
network.

So, in answer to your question, no it's not because you haven't set up
permissions, it's because you haven't specified the share explicitly.
