UNC Path

I posted a while ago on this subject but have still not
solved my problem. I am trying to search a networked
directory using the system.IO class. The network
directory is 'J:'

Below is a snippet of code that I used to get started.
Now- for testing purposes I copied the folder to my local
hard drive and the path works just fine.
"c:\trusjobs\2003\43000\43892" but when I change 'c:\' to
the network drive then I get an error saying 'Part of the
file path not found'

Dim FilePath As String = "j:\trusjobs\2003\43000\43892"
Dim dirs() As String = Directory.GetDirectories(FilePath)

I tried a number of UNC paths that should get me to the
specified drive:
"\\LBRSPEC\ls\dys\FS1\VOL1\TrusJobs\"
"\\10.10.10.31\VOL1"
"\\10.10.10.31\VOL1\"
"\\FS1\VOL1\TrusJobs\"
"\\FS1\VOL1\TrusJobs"

Has anyone every had this problem or does anyone have a
solution? I am grateful for any help!

Thanks
