unable to access virtual directory which is pointed to shared folder on network

Hello,
My problem is as follows:
I am using IIS 5.1 with .net 1.1
I have a shared folder on a different computer on our network which I want to add as a virtual directory on my computer so that I can use

<!--#include virtual="virtualDirectoryName/someFile.html" -->

So, the problem is that I can only gain access to this virtual folder from my asp page when i set impersonate="true" and set the explicit user to gain access to the virtual folder. I dont want to explicitly have to hardcode a user and password into this. When I create the virtual directory on my computer I tried to set the username to MYCOMPUTERNAME\ASPNET however an error icon appeared next to the virtual directory listing in IIS.
Does this make sense? Any help would be greatly appreciated! Thank you!

-Charlie
