Anyone know how to determine at runtime if a UNC path spec is currently 
valid? My app is sleeping for up to a minute trying to find a folder in 
a UNC path that points to a volume that is offline. I'm using 
DirectoryExists() for this, and this function works fine for local 
volumes, but IF its pathspec is UNC and IF the target volume is not on 
the network at the moment, this function takes a minute or two to time 
out, and the rest of the app is waiting to execute until this function 
returns. DirectoryExists() works fine for valid UNC paths:


String logpath;
    logpath = "C:\\log_files\\";
    if(DirectoryExists(logpath))OpenLogFile();     // this is no problem

    logpath = "\\\\FILESERV\\logs\\";
    if(DirectoryExists(logpath))OpenLogFile();

If FILESERV is offline, this function has to timeout before control is 
passed back to your app.

Is there some alternative to DirectoryExists()?
