Network rendering map issues

[add101]

I'm rendering a scene using network render on one pc (pc where files and maps are).
it renders with all the maps when it renders through max, but when i do a network render some of the maps don't render.
i tried changing the file location of these files to a network location (\\pc\folder\ ...) but it still isn't rendering those maps.

does anyone have a workflow for working with maps on network renders.
already have all the maps in one folder.

thanks

Map problems

You can have two problems. One is, better capture the network folder like a hard disk with name ( for example t in all the computers. It's more easy to find ( i don't wy because theorically it's the same).

The other problem is , if you have more than 10 machines and the folder isn't a windows server or similar, normal machines( winxp windows vista) only have access to 10 machines at same time ,and probably after 10 machines are conected the rest don't have access to the file of the material. If you put the folder in a windows server ( 2000 or 2003) they must run whitout problems
