Saving files to a UNC so they can be accessed from multiple web servers in a web farm

Hi,

We have a situation were we have two load balanced IIS web servers. we want to be able to save images uploaded through CKFinder to a seperate machine. we are using the .net version

currentlly we have configured the following

baseDir = "@\\UNC\Images\" (where UNC is the ip of our UNC)

baseUrl = "http://images.ourserver.com" (this is setup in IIS to point to the same directory)

when we try an access the files we recieve the following

It was not possible to properly load the XML response from the web server.

Raw response from the server:

Logon failure: unknown user name or bad password.<br> body {font-family:"Verdana";font-weight:normal;font-size: .7em;color:black;} p {font-family:"Verdana";font-weight:normal;color:black;margin-top: -5px} b {font-family:"Verdana";font-weight:bold;color:black;margin-top: -5px} H1 { font-family:"Verdana";font-weight:normal;font-size:18pt;color:red } H2 { font-family:"Verdana";font-weight:normal;font-size:14pt;color:maroon } pre {font-family:"Lucida Console";font-size: .9em} .marker {font-weight: bold; color: black;text-decoration: none;} .version {color: gray;} .error {margin-bottom: 10px;} .expandable { text-decoration:underline; font-weight:bold; color:navy; cursor:hand; }

Server Error in '/' Application.

I am assuming this is to do with the .net account not being able to authenticate with the UNC share. Is this the recommended way for handling this situation. Any help would be appretiated.

Thanks in Advance
