You may have something here. Problem is, I don¹t know how to mess with how & under what user Apache is running and no one else here does either so basically I have to figure this one out! I would like to, as you suggested, try and ³get Apache to run as a service under a user that can access the network resource². I definitely agree about using non-mapped addresses and using the actual Server Name addresses.

If Apache is running as a service with a different username (with no extended access to network resources), you will need to get Apache to run as a service under a user that can access the network resource. And I still think you should use non-mapped addresses instead of mapped addresses, since a mapping is just a localized version of a resource name alias. If, after determing that Apache is running with the right permissions for the owned processes to connect to and use a network shared resource, then it's probably an Apache UID conflict (is PHP in safe mode?).
