I have tried to do this for years and it always fails. I keep hoping a version of Apache httpd for Win32 will finally recognize mapped drives but so far, no matter how I setup permissions and accounts, it doesn't work. If anyone has this working and can walk "us" through the steps I know I would greatly appreciate it.

The servers are on a Workgroup (one with data content and the other running Apache) and I have setup identical users on both systems with local admin rights. I have set the Apache service to use this local user but the service fails to start. The drive is mapped and I am able to run Apache from the console but it doesn't seem to want to load using a mapped drive and my guess is that it's due to permissions issue. I have read this works with servers in the same domain and was wondering if this was possible with servers in a workgroup (stand-alone). Thanx.
