Point baseDir to Mapped Network Drive

I am running the Java version of ckfinder off of the FCKEditor. It works great when my files are hosted locally, but I want to have my files hosted through a mapped network drive on the server. We'll call this drive the P:\. I change the <baseDir> tag in config.xml to the P:\ and restart my server. When I access ckfinder after the server comes up I get the "Folder not found. Please refresh and try again." message. I have checked the security on the drive and it is set to full access for all users. Has anyone setup ckfinder to work with a mapped network drive? Any help would be appreciated.

Re: Point baseDir to Mapped Network Drive

At first glance it looks like some security restrictions are blocking you from accessing the disk. We have double checked on our side and had no problem with accessing mapped disks.

Could you tell us:
What operating system are you using?
Have you tried using the latest CKFinder 2.1 and if so does the problem occur there also?
Are you using your own class which overrides baseDir/baseUrl?
Could you show us how have you modified your config.xml
