server.mappath and network shares

[JR]

My IIS Web site has a virtual directory called content mapped to a network
share. If the home directory of the Web site is c:\inetpub\wwwroot and the
virtual directory maps to the network share \\myserver\content,
Server.MapPath is returning c:\inetpub\wwwroot\content rather than
\\myserver\content.

I've tried adding
<identity impersonate="true" userName="name" password="password"/>

to the web.config file in order to make sure the identity of the account
accessing network resources has appropriate rights, but that doesn't change
the path returned by MapPath.

Does anyone know what's wrong?

Hi Jay,

I'm viewing the thread and found that it is a duplicated one with another
post(has the same title) in this newsgroup. I've posted a reply and
provided some of my test results in that thread. Would you please have a
check there. Also, if you have any questoins, please feel free to post in
either ones. Thanks.
