Does anyone know how to validate a UNC path?

I am currently using:
Directory.Exists (szUncPath)

This works if the path is located on my machine. However, if the path is
for another machine (on the network), this method fails.

Any suggestions on how to get this to work or aternative ways to
programmatically validate a UNC path would be greatly appreciated.

cheers,
Ollie

Ollie,

Do you have read permissions on the UNC path? If not,
Directory.Exists() will return false.
