Default Outlook 2003 - 2 PCs - share main PST file on a NAS?

I have 2 PCs (one desktop, one laptop) on a SOHO network - no local server.
I use O2K3 in POP3 mode to a local PST file. Can I successfully move the PST
file to a planned simple NAS on the network and then access that same PST
file as the main O2K3 file from either machine (but not at the same time)
without hassle? Previously I have had problems when copying the local PST
file from one machine to the other as the MAIN PST file. Both machines run
identical Office 2K3 SP2, with all patches etc.
If not, is there a simple way to share the main PST file on a NAS?
Thanks

Don't quote me, but I thought Microsoft didn't support .pst access over the
network anyway.
