Network FileSystemWatcher does not work

[PaulZ]

I implemented a FileSystemWatcher in my program to watch for incoming files in a directory.

It works when I set the watchdir to a local dir (C:\ERRORS\) but when I set the watchdir to I:\ERRORS\ (network) it doesnt fire when a new file is put in that directory. I suppose it has to do something with the watcherpermissions but I do not know how to set it right for the network.

Anyone an idea?

Thanks,
Paul

btw: Everyone has full permissions on that directory

1) The computer also has the permission? You have to set the Framework, Intranet to fulltrust.
2) Check the path. Maybe for network the path would have to be: I:\\ERRORS\

Thanks!
The only thing I can think of is the Framework fulltrust. All the other options are correct. I will see to it monday at work.
I will let you know wether this fixes my problem.

What OS are you running? Is it the same on both your local machine and the remote one?

Local: XP Pro
Server: Novell

BTW: Fulltrust doesnt work either....
