If you have correctly followed instructions on creating custom ASPNET
password and hardcoded it into machine.config, then it should work. Is the
server also your development machine ?
Normaly i use following procedure to test this.

1. Go into command prompt on the server, that is hosting application which
is trying to acces another share
2. execute runas /user:ASPNET cmd.exe
3. System will prompt you for a password. Enter password, that was set for
local ASPNET account
4. You should now have command prompt window running as ASPNET account
5. Try net view \\otherserver or dir\\otherserver\sharename
6. If you het access denied, then you have problem with ACL/SHARE settings
on remote server.
7. Go there and check share permissions and file permissions
8. That is all
9. You can try runas allso on remote server to verify that you can logon and
do stuff there.

Hope this helps a little.
