XP cannot Search Network Share

I have an xp machine that even though there are word documents in that share
it will not find the files when I search for *.doc or even filename.doc

I can navigate to the drive and get the files... its just search not working.

I think theres a hot fix for this, but i cant find the KB article.

thanks,
Dan
