Vista Home in any flavor will not see any share and especially on the Enterprise.
Believe me . I am using Enterprise and any way that I have tried with Home it does
not go. Pro,Ultimate,Business does work as I have successfully achieved it with all
the latter.
I also believe and do not hold me to it but Jack Ezlam MS MVP Networking had a
workaround for this .
You can find him on the following newsgroups
microsoft.public.networking_web
microsoft.public.networking.wireless
