VPC running WinXP SP3 with WAMP: 403 error on network drive

Question

Ok, I have Win7 Ultimate 64bit running VPC. VPC is running WinXP Pro SP3 with WAMP.

I'm using:

"Integrated features" to mount my Win7 drives via network.
WAMP for my server (yes, as Admin)
IE6 and IE8 on the two VPCs (there are two)
and thats it!

When I create an alias to point to the network drives it works, but I get 403 errors when I try to hit the alias.

Alias:

Alias /chemdry/ "\\tsclient\C\public_html\chemdry/" 

<Directory "\\tsclient\C\public_html\chemdry/">
    Options Indexes FollowSymLinks MultiViews
    AllowOverride all
        Order allow,deny
    Allow from all
</Directory>

Any ideas? I'm building a browser testing environment on my Dev machine.

Updates:

I have changed the "login account" for the service from "Local" to .\Kevin (this is an admin account

So what account exactly is the Apache service running as? It has to run as an account with network privileges in order for this to work. — Chris S, Oct 28 '10 at 14:07

Found out what I need though another question:

How do I setup a "service account" for apache on XP pro?

And, I also decided to use Virtual Hosts instead of a load of alias' and it worked out well :D
