Hmm, puzzling. Quite a large number of problems were corrected between RC1
and RTM, including some relating to networking.
If you haven't already try:
1. click Start, Run
2. key
\\XPComputerName\ShareName
press Enter
Usually, you may get you a prompt for credentials, but you should get an
Explorer window showing the content of the target share.
