This actually isn't relevant - The below problem was with the Index
server on one machine crawling the files on another. What I am trying
to achieve is a connection to a remote index server, which is on the
same machine as the files. So I shouldn't need the standard UNC/File
share ports, but rather something to do with OLEDB.
