I don't think that net drives necessarily have a serial number. I know that this function doesn't return one from mine, and neither does a DIR from the DOS prompt when the drive is F:, but it does, of course, when the drive is C:.

Just one note, the value returned by this function is, naturally, the decimal representation. The serial number shown at the DOS prompt is a hexadecimal representation of that number.
