Streaming Media from another computer (not the one hosting WMP 11)

All,

I have a PC that has WMP 11 installed on it. I have another file server on my network (another computer that has a large hard drive that I store all of my media on). I have my folders setup in WMP 11 to share out not only local folders, but also the mapped drives that contain the media from my file server. I have played around with this ALOT and have only gotten the local folders to stream to the xbox. The files/folders on the file server (even though they show and play fine locally within WMP) do not appear or play on the XBOX.

Can anyone provide some thoughts or direct me to a thread that may contain the solution?

This is very frustrating so any advice would be much appreciated.

Thanks!
