[thelist] What's wrong with this?

I am trying to create a virtual directory using a share on a remote
machine (that is part of the same work group) as a source.  After it is
created I can browse the virtual directory in the IIS management console
but it has the six sided red error icon next to it.  I added ASPNET in
both the file security and share security with full control and I still
get the error icon.  I know it is some permission issue but I don't know
what it is.  Of course when I browse to the virtual directory using IE I
am required to provide credentials.  What am I doing wrong?

If for some reason this doesn't work, can someone give me sample .Net
code on accessing a remote-share using the UNC format with how to
provide credentials for an account other than the one the user is logged
in with?  We don't necessarily want the user to have access to the share
outside of using the application, therefore we want to set up an
application account to access the share with.

Thank you in advance
