    Novell Netware file server..you got me on this one as I haven't seen anyone
    accessing these from asp.net applications. (That is not to say it can't be
    done)

    My first suggestion would be to move this to a windows file server, but I
    realize that this probably can't be done easily..

    I'm not sure how to use UNC paths with novell networks, if they are even
    supported.
    Sorry I could not be more of a help...
