Windows NT... Aliasing Map Network Drive problems

Hi,

I am running Apache on WinNT 4.0. I have a huge disk that contains wav files 
that I want to put on the web. So I selected

"My Computer" --> "Properties" --> "Map Network Drive"

and Mapped the drive(say: \\UMCP2001-01\Drive-E\ --> "G:\") of the current 
computer(say "Rambo").

I have added these lines to the http.conf located in ($apache_home)/conf:

Alias "/UMCP2001-01/Drive-E/tmpData/" "\\UMCP2001-01\Drive-E\tmpData\"

<Directory "\\UMCP2001-01\Drive-E\tmpData">
      Options None
      AllowOverride None
      Order allow,deny
      Allow from all
</Directory>

and when I go to the webpage and click on the wave file link... it gives me 
"FORBIDDEN".

So I did something different:

Alias "/UMCP2001-01/Drive-E/tmpData/" "G:/tmpData/"

<Directory "G:/tmpData">
      Options None
      AllowOverride None
      Order allow,deny
      Allow from all
</Directory>

But now when I go back and click it says "Page not found".

I have been successful in "Aliasing" a wave file off my current computer. 
Its only giving me problems when I have a Mapped Network Drive.

I donot understand and I am seriously stuck. All suggestions and comments 
are welcome.

Thanks in advance!

Regards,
Raghu
