Access network shares with filesystemobject

I have a page in classic asp that accces a network drive, The code is as
follows:
<%
dim fso
dim objFolder
set fso=server.createObject("Scripting.FileSystemObject")
set objFolder=fso.GetFolder("f:\")
for each objFile in objFolder.files
response.write objFile.name & "<br>"
next
%>

(f: is a network drive)
I am trying to do the same thing in asp.net. My code behind is as follows:

Public Class WebForm1
Inherits System.Web.UI.Page

#Region " Web Form Designer Generated Code "

....

#End Region

Private Sub Page_Load(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As
System.EventArgs) Handles MyBase.Load
Dim fso, objFolder, objFile As Object
Dim strFolder As String
fso = Server.CreateObject("Scripting.FileSystemObject")
strFolder = "f:\"
objFolder = fso.getFolder(strFolder)
For Each objFile In objFolder.files
Response.Write(objFile.name & "<br>")
Next
End Sub
End Class

Both pages run as integrated authentication with no anonymous access
allowed. it works fine in classic asp, but not in asp.net. It works in
asp.net if I access a local folder like c:\. The error I get in asp.net is:

Exception from HRESULT: 0x800A004C (CTL_E_PATHNOTFOUND).
Description: An unhandled exception occurred during the execution of the
current web request. Please review the stack trace for more information
about the error and where it originated in the code.

Exception Details: System.IO.DirectoryNotFoundException: Exception from
HRESULT: 0x800A004C (CTL_E_PATHNOTFOUND).
