I'm using the above class for file copying over a shared drive using credentials. When I try to copy the file using a console application, it works perfectly. But when I integrate it into my actual windows service. It gives me following error:

System.ComponentModel.Win32Exception (0x80004005): The network name cannot be found

My windows service is running under the local service account. I also tried the local account, but no success.

My calling is as following.

 using (NetworkShareAccesser.Access(_sharedDriveSettingsConfig.RemoteComputerName, _sharedDriveSettingsConfig.UserName, _sharedDriveSettingsConfig.Password))
 {
   File.Copy(orignalImage, Path.Combine(sharedPathFolderName, newFileName), true);
 }

My shared drive is not on a domain. So i can only access it using its name and DNS name. Help will be appreciated.
