Instead of shelling out to run NET USE, why not use the methods built into the WshNetwork object?
var n = new ActiveXObject("WScript.Network"); // Server.CreateObject();
n.MapNetworkDrive("", "\\\\server\\path$", false, "user", "password");
I wrote and tested it in WSH, but it should work just as well in ASP, you just need to convert it to VBS (if desired) and change
"new ActiveXObject()" into "Server.CreateObject()".

I have tried the "net use" command that you recommended and it seems
to work perfectly when I use the command directly. When I use the
command through script though, it correctly executes, but doesn't seem
to have any effect. It's running inside the same script just before I
use the file path and with the same security context with low
application protection in iis. Any reason this wouldn't apply through
script? Aside from the user/server information, I am using it exactly
as you had posted it.

If you're using anonymous authentication on this ASP page, you could
set the anonymous user to be the user which has permission to access
the share.
If you're looking for a code solution, before attempting to access the
share, try executing the command:
net use \\server\ipc$ /u:domain\user password
var sServer = "whatever";
var sDomain = "somedomain";
var sUser = "somebody";
var sPassword = "thisisnotsecure";
var oShell = Server.CreateObject("WScript.Shell");
oShell.Run("net use \\\\" + sServer + "\\ipc$ /u:" + sDomain + "\\" +
sUser + " " + sPassword, 0 , true);

Steve
