Jared, 

I think you got a little confused with a previous post of mine. Mac OS X is
Not in this scenario at all!!! So completely Eradicate it from this current
Scenario. 

This is a complete PHP/Apache on Windows 2003 Scenario. That's it!

So what it is supposed to be is:

* PHP5 / Apache2.2 on Windows Server 2003
* Folder on another Windows Machine on the Network contains some files
(mapped as network drive "X:\")
* PHP trying to read file on X:\ from Apache on Windows 2003.

There's really nothing else to it.

Yes! Without any problems! I can easily navigate to the X: drive on that
Windows Machine, and do anything I want with files there. I have all
permissions.
