[WIN7] Windows Shared Drive versus Connecting to Computer

$

I have a Windows 7 desktop I use as a server. Currently, just one of the two partitions on the hard driver are set-up as a shared drive (lets call the two partitions C$ and E$ where E$ is set up to be shared). I am getting two different results though when accessing that server: 1. On a laptop, under Network, the server name comes up and when I double click it the windows explorer open the E$ drive by itself. 2. On my phone using ES Explorer or a linux device, when I enter the IP Address of the server I literally get both the C$ and the E$ and full access. Why is it when I use the IP Address for the computer and the username and password I am getting full computer access? Does this have something to do with workgroups? I'm also running Teamviewer on the server, but am unsure whether that has anything to do with it. Thanks.
