title: ASP.NET APP keeps getting access denied to network share
body: <p>I have "Network Service" and myself added to the Security Permissions of the folder but I get the following error:</p>
  
  <pre><code>Access to the path '\\path\folder\image.gif' is denied.
  
  ASP.NET is not authorized to access the requested resource. Consider granting access rights to the resource to the ASP.NET request identity. ASP.NET has a base process identity (typically {MACHINE}\ASPNET on IIS 5 or Network Service on IIS 6 and IIS 7, and the configured application pool identity on IIS 7.5) that is used if the application is not impersonating. If the application is impersonating via &lt;identity impersonate="true"/&gt;, the identity will be the anonymous user (typically IUSR_MACHINENAME) or the authenticated request user.
