How do I use UPnP sharing?

I have a PC setup with windows upnp server, I can access it through my xbox. I've been trying to find documentation that explains how windows ME can browse a upnp share, but to no avail. Or, do I need a video player that supports upnp to access my server?

According to

http://www.microsoft.com/technet/itsolut...

UPNP *is* supported in Windows ME. In fact, my PC can see the server on my server. If my xbox can access a UPNP share, I have no idea why ME couldn't

Do I need a UPNP enabled client, or any other ideas?

Switching to XP is *not* an option. XP is far too bloated for this PC, and there is no need for additional stability.

Update:

There is such a thing as UPNP sharing, not a upnp driver. Upnp is just a variety of protocols for different purposes.

    UPnP stands for Universal Plug and Play. Other than automatically recognizing network cards, it shouldn't have anything to do with connecting two computers.
