I'm not sure if you're going to be able to use a unc \\server\share type name from within zope. Can you do it in zope by mapping / assigning a drive letter to the share (like the local file example?) that would tell you.

I also tried to open a locale file from my ZOPE script example: fh = open('c:\\test.txt','rb') And this works fine too. What am I doing wrong?
