VB.NEt and FileSystemWatcher ??

Hi,
I created a Windows Service using VB.NET under LocalSystem account.
In this service, I'm using the FileSystemWatcher component to keep track of
files in a mapped directory.
I'm mapping this directory from another computer (Server-A),
but I keep getting an error saying that the FileSystemWatcher can't
recognize or can't open this directory .

Anyone has any ideas what's going on ?

Thanks,
Hang

Is it a Windows file system/and do you have permissions to view that drive?
