I have a Windows Server 03 R2 Enterprise x64 SP2 instance running in vmware
on a Linux box.

I share a folder with full permissions.

From an XP box I attempt to open a network connection to this folder ( run
\\{ip address}\folder-name )

Explorer freezes up and I have to kill it from Task Manager.

This is workgroup, not domain. ( although I don't think that matters ).
