remote file access in .net app

Hi,

My .NET application has a script that checks whether an image file on a
remote server exists using File.Exists.

>From my localhost (Server A), I can access the image file via network

path (\\servername\foldername\image.jpg) or virtual directory
(../foldername/image.jpg) within the application.

When I moved the app to a test server (Server B), it still worked fine.

However, when the same codebase is run on a pilot server (Server C), it
somehow returns false when File.Exists() is executed. Same target, same
code.

Server A, B, and C are all Windows 2003 and the remote server is
Windows 2000. The target directory has Everyone to have full
permission.

What factors can affect file access on a remote server? I tried playing
with IIS, file system, etc but couldn't figure out.

Let me know if any of you has any suggestion.

Thanks in advance!

I just realized this is a classic ASP group, but I guess my issue
involves more of network/server level. I'll post it in asp.net group,
but if anyone has any feedback, I appreciate it.
