Hi,
If I remember right the shared directory has to be introduced in httpd.conf
file before Mapserver can access it and that there will also be a side effect
that makes it impossible to install Apache as Windows service. Apache can be
run as excutable, though.

Dear Mauricio,
I suppose you would map the shared folder of MYSECONDCOMPUTER on the
mapserver machine.
1. On MYSECONDCOMPUTER make the folder of your shape files shared, e.g.
Right click in explorer on the name of the folder and select Sharing.
For more information on sharing folders see:
http://www.microsoft.com/windowsxp/using/networking/maintain/share.mspx
2. On mapserver machine in explorer select map network drive in the Tools
menu and select the sharing on the other machine and assing a letter to
to it, probably you should check reconnect.
3. Change the data line in your map file.
I suppose using shared files from another machine is a performance issue.
Regeards,
Zoltan
