System.IO.IOException

[Krissy]

Hi all,

Yesterday we upgraded our server to the 1.1 Framework. (from 1.0)
Our project was also converted in Visual Studio to 1.1

Since we have uploaded the project, we are getting an error with one of our
pages which is trying to read a list of files from a network share and
populate a dropdownlist.

The error is:

System.IO.IOException: The specified network name is no longer available.

OR

System.IO.IOException: The specified network password is not correct.


The code is:

Dim fileEntries As String() = Directory.GetFiles(targetDirectory)

where targetdirectory is "\\192.168.1.1\data\General\Documents\"


If we try to view the page on our own machines ie [url]http://localhost[/url] the page
works fine!!

So is there any fixes/ideas why this is happening!!

Thanks!

How would you get TWO different error messages from the same code?
