Using scandir() in a Novell Netware Volumen or a Windows Shared Folder

Hi, Im having problems when i try to use the function scandir() in a Novell Netware Volumen or a Windows Shared Folder they both are mapped as a windows network drive, so i suppose i could access them as local drive, but i can't. instead i receive this message: Warning: scandir(R:\) [function.scandir]: failed to open dir: Invalid argument in C:\WebServ\wwwroot\htdocs\index.php on line 3 Warning: scandir() [function.scandir]: (errno 22): Invalid argument in C:\WebServ\wwwroot\htdocs\index.php on line 3 this is the script: <?php $dir = "R:\\"; //Some Windows Network Drive (Novell Netware Volumen or a Windows Shared Folder) $files1 = scandir($dir); print_r($files1); ?> i' am logged to novell as a administrator (testing only) if i use scandir() in a local drive it works fine for example scandir("D:\\") so i guess it's not a security problem i have appache server 2.0 installed on a WXP SP3 workstation (only for testing) and a Novell Netware Server v5.0 used as a File Server, PHP 5.0.2 i have read some message posted before on the list, suggesting to go and search in google before asking help to the list. I wish i could do that, i live in Cuba and i DON'T!!!! have access to the internet :-(( :-(( :-(( sorry for my english.
