asked on Solution not able to access network resources from network drive
Hi,
I'm running VS 2010 Ultimate on a Win7 Professional machine. The policy of my employer is that everyone does there work on the provided network drives.
The problem that I am having is that if I write an application that uses an external source such as Active Directory or an external web service I get varying error messages varying from " dead network " (I cant remember the full error) to " The Network Path was not found ".
However when I copy my solution to the local drive or a USB drive the project works fine. To add to the confusion any linqtosql or edm projects work fine.
I am an administrator of my local machine and I am running visual studio as an administrator. I've tried using caspol to set Exclusive entry’s for fully trusting the network drive.
When I run: caspol -rsg for the exe location on
C: the Enterprise and User are fully trusted and for Machine Zone MyComputer is fully trusted
for P (network) I have. 1. All code: Nothing
1.2. Zone - Intranet: LocalIntranet
1.2.1. All code: Same site Web
1.2.2. All code: Same directory FileIO - 'Read, PathDiscovery'
1.6. Url - P:\*: FullTrust (Exclusive)
1.7. Url - \\domain\staff\drives\ME\*
1.8. Url - file://\\domain\staff\driv
1.9. Url - file://P:\*: FullTrust (Exclusive)
I am possibly missing the caspol command to set the appropriate permission on the network drive. The main thing that is confusing me is the inconsistency of it. It's very frustrating, especially as the error messages don't seem to completely relate to the problem at hand.
I hope someone can help point out where I am going wrong.
Kind Regards,
David

Thanks for that bit of information. I have set SRP to allow unrestricted access to the network path to no effect.
I've had to install VS2005 to update a project. I'm now getting the same error despite that it worked fine in winXP. Now on win7 Its not working and im getting same/simlar error messages that I've been getting on VS2010.
In light of this I've tried running VS2005 in XP compatability Mode and still getting the same error.
The error itself I think is a red hearing as the SQL Server is available, you can preview data through VS2005/2010 and SQLManagementStudio. Yet As soon as I move my projects to C: they work.
I'm at a complete loss on where the problem is.

The client was unable to establish a connection because of an error during connection initialization process before login. Possible causes include the following: the client tried to connect to an unsupported version of SQL Server; the server was too busy to accept new connections; or there was a resource limitation (insufficient memory or maximum allowed connections) on the server. (provider: Named Pipes Provider, error: 0 - No process is on the other end of the pipe.)
