I see two issues.
One is that the \\ shouldn't be part of the host field. Just use the IP address.
Another is the username. I think you will get better results if you add a local user to the PC that has the appropriate access to the share. Then you won't need the machine/domain name in the username, and you won't be using the email format for the username.
