For example:

There is a file on my server at d:\public\readme.txt.
d:\public is shared on the network as \\comp1\public.

fso.GetFile("d:\\public\\readme.txt"); // works fine
fso.GetFile("\\\\comp1\\public\\readme.txt"); // doesn't work

Ideas?

Does the IUSR_MACHINE account have access to the share? It needs an account
on the computer, I think.

http://www.deja.com/ will give you references to answers to this (it comes
up periodically, but I can't remember the exact answer).

If IUSR_machinename doesn't have access, then you'll need to use Basic
Authentication so IIS will have credentials with which to respond to the NT
challenge.
