indexing network shared resources

Hi, we have company data on a server, which is connected to every user using network share (like Z:\). I find the indexing feature quite cool and helpy, however useless on the client's computers, since all data (thousands and thousands) files are on the network share. How can I turn on the indexing of network share?
Thanks, Jan

Look at 'Indexing Options', click Start then type 'Indexing Options' and try and add your z drive to list of locations to be indexed.

It has to be run through the server or the computer holding the network share :o) Simply go through the services.msc console, and enable "Indexer Service", then go through the Control Panel and make sure the Index is working.
