Actually, it does work!!!
Use "//computername/share/filename" or "\\\\computername\share\filename"
Thanks to Christph Grottolo for the tip.
Now it's only a documentation problem.

Doesn't work with 4.1.0 nor with 4.2.0-dev.

This is not a Scripting Engine Problem, but a FIle System function report.

Any updates for this? This is a known issue for a long time.
To reporter: I don't use windows. Could you try 4.1.0 and report the result?

On a Windows 2000 box with PHP and IIS5.0, create a page the calls the file_exists function on a
known machine\share\file
You will need to create a share on that machine or another.
For example :
if (file_exists("\\\\machine\\share\\test.txt") {
echo "Exists<BR>";
} else {
echo "Does not Exist<BR>";
}
The file_exists function will always return false.
The function works fine with drive letter associations, but not for UNC notation on win32.
You have closed this bug with id #6554.
But this bug is not fixed in 4.0.6
