I have a very strange problem.  I have two identical copies of my website. One on my C drive (which is where I do my development) and another on a network drive.  The network drive contains all my completed work.   I have been doing this for the last year without any problems.  That is until today.

I decided to issue a rebuild command from VS 2005 on the network copy of the website (I do this often to both my local copy and the network copy).  For some reason on the first (and only the first) execution of my network copy of the website I get some funky errors after a re build.  So far I have found two errors that I cannot figure out. 

 1. A logo in my images folder fails to display.

2.  I have a popup screen that is generated via Javascript.  This popup throws a configuration error.

What makes this even more puzzling is that if I immediately re run the site without and changes everything works fine.  This problem does not happen to the local copy of my website.

Any help would be much appreciated.

Thanks 

Hi mike,

  I think may be recently you added logo and the javascript pages with the path relative to C:\ Drive which is not applicable in case of Network Drive. So please check the path and see if it is accessible from the both location or not.

This may help you

The path of the logo is accessible.  The logo has been in place for the last 7 months.  The Javascript is new. 

What I find strange is that this only happens on the first execution after a re build or after I start VS 2005 for the first time. All subsequent runs work properly.  This morning I got a new error which I am hoping will help me track down the problem. The error is:

Failed to start monitoring changes to 'P:\Website\DiscGraphics\MasterPage' because the network BIOS command limit has been reached. For more information on this error, please refer to Microsoft knowledge base article 810886. Hosting on a UNC share is not supported for the Windows XP Platform.

 Thanks for trying to help.

Its recommended not to build projects on network drives which are there on Network folder or mapped drive . I think its a problem in refreshing the contents of the maped drive.
