I had the same problem. Even with running IIS and having NT auth. That doesn't give you access to network drives. What we ended up doing was making our COM object run in the same memory space of IIS. Then using the API RevertToSelf, which will reverts back to the SYSTEM user, then using the API LogonUser with ImpersonateLoggedOnUser API to login as a domain user. Then you can access network drives. Also we always link to network drives using UNC. Or maybe you could give the IUSER_ access to the network but I think that would be less secure.
