Hi Guys
I have a strange issue that I'm struggling to solve.
I have a FileStream (used to be just a SteamReader) that opens a file on the network.
It works fine on my machine and the test machine (both x64 windows 7 pro) and opens the file instantly.
However, when on it's server (x64 windows server 2008 R2) it gets to the point of trying to open the file, and sits there doing nothing. No exceptions, it just hangs.
The file opening is triggered by a FileSystemMonitor event, AND I use FileInfo to check the file is there, so there should be no issue in visibility.
The files are very rarely bigger than 20KB.
To add to the confusion, the server is in the data center, on the same switch as the machine it is getting the files from. When it works from my machine, it's going over a VPN connection...
Does anybody have any ideas that may shed some light on why my server won't open these files?
