As Guillaume says - try just the IP address to start with. What you've been trying is sort-of a Windows networking path. Odd that pgAdmin doesn't give an error though.

If you were using psql you'd type something like:
  psql -h <ip-addr> -U <username> -d <dbname>

Once you're happy the ip-address is working, try just the server-name by itself. You'll want the internet name for the machine which in theory can be different from the Windows network name, but usually is the same.
