Problem occurs with all recent releases of Apache Win32 (1.3.4 onwards)
>Description:
When trying to create an Alias to a NT shared drive...

(e.g.  Net Use f: \\webserver\files")

Alias /files/ "f:/"

...Apache will not allow for access to the Alias area.

Should this be posssible, or is it a bug, or am I doing something wrong?

Any help would be appreciated.
