Trying to build website

Hello all,

We have a development web server where we host our sites under development
and let clients look at them as they are coming along at milestones to make
feedback and suggestions.
I am developing websites (ASP.NET 2) against this server, using VS.NET 2005
from my machine, running Windows XP SP2.
When i try to build this website now using the Build > Build Website menu, i
get the following error:

<error>
Error 1 An error occurred loading a configuration file: Failed to start
monitoring changes to
'\\xiaconinc.com\web\test\epaperweb\radcontrols\co mbobox\skins\whiteround'
because the network BIOS command limit has been reached. For more
information on this error, please refer to Microsoft knowledge base article
810886. Hosting on a UNC share is not supported for the Windows XP Platform.
\\ourdomain.com\web\test\websitename\radcontrols\c ombobox\skins\whiteround\web.config
</error>

I have tried the fixes in KB 810886 to no avail. I do not understand this
error as i am not hosting the site on an XP platform. The development web
server box is windows 2000 SP4.
How can i get this working? I want to be able to take advantage of the
pre-compilaton features available in .NET 2.

Thanks in advance,
- Arthur Dent.

This is a moronic error caused by poor design of VS2005 and Windows
servers, and Microsoft's NetBIOS and SMB. What you need here are open
standards.

"One man band", and home user developers tend not to be affected because
they have their files buried on the C drive of the local machine.

VS2005 does too much "hand-holding" to try and pacify the VS Express
crowd, but at the expense of solid network engineering. That's why
projects in VS2005 often take too long to load. It's bloated and silly,
just like Vista.

Have you tried telling it not to check for changes being made outside
the IDE? Have you tried stuffing everything into Visual Source Safe? We
are running a VSS db on the UNC and it seems to have reduced the NetBIOS
overloading issue, but not solved it completely.

We are having similiar issues here. Are there any know work arounds? We
don't use source safe. Any microsoft guys monitoring this post?
