Vista Media Center and WMP11 (XP) Media Sharing

Hi,
I have a Windows XP Professional machine that I use as a home server
running WMP11 and Media Sharing activated. It also shares some music
folders using the common file sharing protocol. Another machine in the
house is running Windows Visto Premium and everything is fine using
the Windows Media Player: it finds the other XP server and WMP shared
media. However, I could not figure out how I can use the media sharing
(i.e. connect to the XP server WMP library) from the Media Center - As
a result, I am back to old days method, that is, connect to the music
folders using file sharing and include these connected folders in the
list of WMP/Media Center inventoried folders -
Did I mis something? Can I connect to a WMP11 shared media library
from Media Center or is this a feature only available from WMP11?
thanks for any help - regards
Pierre
