Directory.Exists returning wrong results

I have mapped a drive letter p: to a server\share. Within the drive is a
direcotry. If I Start/Run p:\Dir I can see the files.

Now, in code I do the following:

? System.IO.Directory.Exists("p:\Dir")
and get false.

Any ideas?

Might have solved this. The app (in this case a windows service needs to be
running under a domain account)
