Network Redirector timeout?

Hi!

I'm using Directory.GetFiles() to gather all files in a directory on a
server. The directory contains over 200 000 files and after a long time I
get: "The specified network name is no longer available."
To rule out network issues I tried running the application on the same
server as where the files are (still using the server's computer name in the
UNC-path). I still get this error message!

In the programming forums I got the advice that it might have to do with the
Network Redirector and that I should ask about it here.
So do you think this could be the NR timing out, and if so - how can I
prevent it from doint so?

Thanks in advance!

Any errors in the event viewer? Have you check this link?

Thanks for your reply!

It doesn't seem like anything gets written to the event log at the time when
the error message appear.

This can't have to do with a bad connection, and probably not with NIC
settings or drivers since the files I'm searching for is located on the same
computer where I am running the program. Only I use the UNC path
(\\computer1\temp) instead of the local path (c:\Temp).
