Accessing Files on a Network Share

Tech-Archive recommends: Repair Windows Errors & Optimize Windows Performance

Currently I let people download files that the server knows they have purchased.

I use Response.TransmitFile(filePath + "\\" + fileName) command

filepath is usually a network share like "\\\\storage-server\\fileshare"

Currently the only way I can figure to keep this working is to keep the aspnet user password on both machines sync'd up, which is problematic since patches often cause the ASPNET user account's password to regenerate.

Anybody have a good solution?
